#

eleonor has made me addicted to borderlands 2

#

this would be a net positive if for some reason the game didn't have the weirdest performance issues i've ever seen

#

game runs at 120FPS no problems for like an hour, then rapidly declines to 20

#

and also destroys my audio

west phoenix
#

i have it set to low, would i turn it off in the ini files?

#

the ini file had my framerate set to 35 despite me changing it to 120 in game

tame tide
#

50-series GPUs no longer support 32-bit PhysX, so in certain older games its forced to run on the CPU. This video demonstrates how poorly 32-bit PhysX runs without hardware acceleration that not even a 9800X3D can handle it.

LMFAO THE FPS

tame tide
#

Can it run borderlands 2

west phoenix
#

my PC??? yes

#

it runs it at 120 for like, an hour before rapidly declining

tame tide
#

Your PC is better than a 5080

#

Googled it?

west phoenix
#

googled it lots, have tried like a billion different solutions

tame tide
#

Welp

clever cloud
#

I have ridiculously better performance in linux

#

and apparently that's a common experience with dx9 games

#

which????? what the fuck.?

tame tide
#

I plan on running off to a PC shop soon

#

Getting a backup harddrive for shit I care about... Then wiping my pc and reinstalling Linux

#

My PC is currently windows 10 which is eol now...

clever cloud
#

ooo what distro

tame tide
#

Dunno yet...

#

My friend said go Arch but tbh I'm up for suggestions

#

Not windows is the distro I want

clever cloud
#

mood

#

I do support arch, but it might be overwhelming to start with. Excellent docs, but everything is involved

tame tide
#

It's not my first rodeo with Linux Os's

clever cloud
#

ah then yeah arch

#

fedora is also very nice for laptops

tame tide
#

I worked frequently on Ubuntu on uni work

#

It needs to:

  • run video game
  • run graphics tablet
  • run clip studio paint

clever cloud
#

csp runs on linux??

tame tide
#

Thanks Steam deck for making video game part easier

#

Is that a question or statement?

clever cloud
#

question

tame tide
#

I fucking hope

#

:)

#

Like that's the part of compatibility issues I'm worried about

#

And like... The other requirement is it can run foundry but I honestly feel like that's a given...

#

Foundry feels like it's Linux compatible

west phoenix
woeful saddle
#

CSP will almost certainly run on linux w/ winetricks, but with the classic "wine will make random parts not work" (source: used to have it on mint ages ago)

clever cloud
west phoenix
#

i have a GTX 1060 and yes i know its old but i'm broke af

#

the game should not be running like this everyone else is talking about how great it runs 😭

woeful saddle
#

idk what the modern state is but i would not expect any non-native application to work well unless you're 100% committed (& knowledgeable enough) to follow weird guides telling you which vcredist to install

tame tide
woeful saddle
#

this is the linux way (I say, who switched back to win11 because its more practical)

clever cloud
tame tide
#

But the drivers may be newer

#

Graphics cards wack yo

west phoenix
#

even if that were the case why the sudden rapid decline?

tame tide
#

Idk this is guesswork tbh

west phoenix
#

like why would the new drivers be like "okay, an hour has passed time to fuck her over"

tame tide
#

Memory leak

west phoenix
#

yeah i was also considering that

clever cloud
#

with linux art programs it's sorta just GIMP. everything else has drawbacks

west phoenix
#

no issues according to task manager tho

clever cloud

tame tide
#

That's annoying...

I could dual boot but that's effort :P

Man i wish chimera squad was good

tame tide
#

It is

tame tide
#

Is it as good as xcom 2... No

#

Is it a good game... Yeah

#

I liked it

west phoenix
#

It is mid imo

#

But XCOM 2 is peak so maybe I'm harsh

#

All XCOM games have pretty bad plot but chimera squad was so fucking funny

#
  • XCOM hates aliens and want them to leave
  • They are working the aliens in their squads to achieve this goal
    ????
#

Did all of them decide "yeah its ok we hate us too, let us join :)"

tame tide
#

Xcom hates aliens who took over planet
Xcom overthrows aliens who overtook planet
Aliens are still here and were under control under those who forcefully occupied earth
Do you let them stay... You can't easily just evict them from a planet... Or do you kill them all indiscriminantely?

(CH1) ||Capella just laughed maniacally as his latch drone boosted his mech and then immediately fell off the front of the ship as his servos locked up thanks to Athena.||

#

I think it was the funniest fucking first turn.

#

Not a single tech attack missed on 8 targets.

west phoenix
#

I did like the interweaving turns tho, XCOM 2 is often trying to engage the enemy as little as possible by killing all of them on first contact lol

cobalt zealot
west phoenix
tame tide
west phoenix
#

Maybe thats the problem keep them out of the writers booth lmao

tame tide
#

Xcom 2 is just action movie "we're geurilla fighters, fighting against insurmountable odds" and then they kill everyone they get in contact with

#

I liked it though...

#

Like... I don't think it's a problem

#

I think it's an interesting dynamic and am for it

west phoenix
#

I respect the idea i just think the execution was off

tame tide
#

I don't

west phoenix
#

The music is good

tame tide
#

The music is good

west phoenix
#

I used the briefing music for quite a long time when i played starfinder lol

#

I like how it elevates as you progress through the game

cobalt zealot
#

0 TO 16 heat in one fucking turn

west phoenix
#

Chomo gaming

cobalt zealot
#

Chomolungma is actually broken oh my god

tame tide
#

Like... Years have passed and xcom has gone from a congamoration of multiple countries fundinngg to repel alien invaders, to a global resistance to repel the alien invaders to a global peacekeeping force... XCOM didn't just genocide everyone, and they couldn't just pack their bags and go home so they stayed. Chimera squad is specifically an experimental and elite task force of these peacekeepers which are experimenting working with aleins and diving into why there is so much civil unrest in the new cities that have formed since the conflict. The goal is no longer anti aliens because we shouldn't genocide them and we can't just kick them out

#

Hell, one of the factions is just a group of aliens who want to go home at any means possible

west phoenix
#

Oh my god I'm dumb i mean the former XCOM faction that are the bad guys

tame tide
#

Oh

west phoenix
#

I like what the chimera squad itself is going for

tame tide
#

Like the bad guys of the final mission?

#

And post credit scene?

west phoenix
#

Believe so, been a minute

tame tide
#

Oh yeah that's been blanked from my mind NGL

#

At that point the ggame had been going on for long enough I wanted to stop... One of the issues of the game was it was too long

west phoenix
#

Lmao

#

Yeah i think the general world building is pretty good minus that

tame tide
#

It was a good game but it lacked replayability and it was too repetitive in a way regular xcom isn't

#

Ok then we can shake hands on that

west phoenix
#

Its like if real world racist organizations decided to add the races they hate and they went along with it...

west phoenix
#

Also iirc when you lost squad members did the mission just end? I swear they weren't dead forever

tame tide
#

If someone died, reset the scene... if someone started bleeding out and was recovered, replace them with a robotic squadmate

#

Then they get a wound and a slap on the wrist

west phoenix
tame tide
#

That mission

#

It was very low lethality

#

Somethinng XCOM is well known for

west phoenix
#

Yeah i loved it when John XCOM would get blasted you just had to go with that

#

Unless it was absolute bullshit then you can save scum :)

tame tide
#

Yeah nah I don't

#

Most the time

#

Apart from when I do

west phoenix
#

I distinctly remember a mission where a sectopod lit one of my dudes on fire by walking THROUGH a gas tank and instantly spread the fire by like 6 tiles

#

I was pissed

tame tide
#

rip

west phoenix
#

feel like those moments don't happen as much in chimera squad, i kind of love the jank

tame tide
#

So... Chimera squad was weird in a good and bad way... It refined the combats to be much more balanced and controlled

#

Because you deployed and there were ONLY the enemies on the field and reinforcementns. Every enemy that was on the field was engaged

#

XCOM 2 you have the "wipe everyone" or "wipe one pod, move 1 tile too far and activate 2 more then get wiped"

#

Chimera squad was now I think of it... Very similar to Lancer

west phoenix
#

yeah i respect it for that, i like games that basically force you to engage with the enemy on an even playing field rule wise

#

taking turns back and forth is genuinely one of my favorite design decisions in like, any turn based game

tame tide
#

Real

west phoenix
#

often XCOM becomes do not let them 'play the game'

tame tide
#

WDYM, playin the game involves moving 1 tile at a time and spammingg overwatch... Then wipingg the enemies in one turn

west phoenix
#

and i like the crazy shit you can come up with to do that, but i often play mods that have harder enemies or sitreps so you can't just do that

tame tide
#

Long war my beloved

#

I donn't think I can go back to vanilla

west phoenix
#

mhm mhm long war is too goated

tame tide
#

It makes the game go from action movie "save the world guerilla figghting" to actually feeling like guerilla fighting (and some action movie shit)

west phoenix
#

the infiltration system alone

tame tide
#

Ya

cobalt zealot
#

Okay so (ch1) ||Capella's intrusion team is getting absolutely fucking owned||

tame tide
#

||Kill Capella with hammers||

#

It was funny, I was in #1254229800952922193 at some point. Convo topic went to changing lancer initiative system... Cos like, yeah the current initiative takes AGES to discuss team tactics and such for the sake of time... But like... The convo topic went to team based initative...

#

And I was firm on...

#

no

cobalt zealot
#

First round:
||Both bastions gone. Capella stressed. Support destroyed.||

west phoenix
#

it used to be a problem with our team but as we got better its much easier to say what to do in simple terms

#

the only time i've really seen that be a huge deal is with newer players

cobalt zealot
#

I do not think this combat could go better for us

tame tide
#

Mostly weighs down to:

  • Player understanding of what they're capable of
  • How dire the situation is
#

A player may be new and not understand their options... Therefore it takes time.

A player may be experienced and knows their options... Therefor it may take time to decide which is the most important for the situation

#

If the situation isn't dire... Then they just do it... If the situation is dire they may want to deliberate further and choose which is the best

#

I have found, the harder the sitrep. The longer the turns take... Not just because there are more enemies, but because the players need to react and choose which and how they're dealing with them

#

And it also depends on the builds... A caliban with a knockback shotgun may be easier to use thann a caliban with a knockback grenade and inflicitng knockback 1 onto 12 targets across 2 actions

#

And the time between turns can increase as people discuss and plan a lot

#

Also differentn topic which is till not related to IGF but is atleast related to lancer

#

I had a session 0 for a lancer campaign today... I've been making my characters heroforge

#

I just kept making her more and more muscley... I think this is finally the ttrpg character I stop holding back and just make a raging lesbian with an oversized sniper rifle

#

kinda fun thing i've been doing with my NPCs. One of them has spent all their life on Hell's Gate, and it has a lot of food shortages. So (with them liking the joke), sometimes food that they eat in other places like Icebreaker just.. isn't what she thought it was. A good example of was that they thought that a lemon, tasted like ham. As the ham they were eating was just mislabeled lemons

and then audio glitches that fuck up my whole PC until i turn the game off

like popping sounds that hurt so bad and some are at a frequency i can't even hear, i just feel that they're hurting my ears lol

its a testament to how good the game is that i spent a full day yesterday trying to fix it

Oh god

zinc topaz
#

it must be better than tiny tina's wonderlands (the only game in the series ive really played) because i would never go through that shit just to play that game lmfao

zinc topaz
noble ivy
#

pro tip: never play a borderlands game unless it has "2" or "tales from the" in it's title
-# maybe "pre-sequel" as well, but that might be nostalgia talking

west phoenix
#

i thought i hated borderlands because my brain associates it with tiny tina

noble ivy
#

-# she's just a cringy 13 year old she's not that bad

west phoenix
#

its annoying and definitely dated, but it can genuinely be funny. or maybe my brain is just deteriorating

zinc topaz
#

my brain associates it with claptrap and the dude that screams at you to shoot him

upbeat hemlock
#

as a series, it has some funny moments. It also has some INCREDIBLY GRATING MOMENTS

#

and many of the latter last a lot longer than the former

west phoenix
#

a lot of stuff is uh... dated to put nicely

zinc topaz

also the ending of borderlands 1 was stupid and disappointing on both a narrative and gameplay level

#

WHY DO EVERYTHING NEEDS MONEY

west phoenix
#

yeah....

#

since we last talked i lost my job and i am terrified

cerulean valve
#

Since we last talked I've been hit by insurance, debts and new dumbass taxes the government just put in.

west phoenix
cerulean valve
#

Man, México is fucked up. Pain2

west phoenix
#

its all pretty fucked up

cerulean valve
#

Hey no matters how bad it gets, remember the government hasn't taxed you for videogames, electrolytes, etc.

west phoenix
#

i guess not, and in my case its all my fault so i can't really be upset

cerulean valve
#

I'm sorry to hear that, yo.

west phoenix
#

i literally quit my job when everyone was telling me not to and that i'd regret it but i did it anyways because they were doing some fucked up shit

#

when i should have just kept looking for other jobs like i was already doing

#

i just got done being unemployed like, 6 months ago and only accepted this job out of desperation. i'm an idiot

cerulean valve
#

I don't think it's a bad thing to do stuff out of desperation when you're in a position where you can't afford anything else.

#

S'not like you're at fault for being put into such a position when most of us are in the same boat.

west phoenix
#

taking the job isn't what i'm upset about, it's how i quit when everyone was telling me not to without having a backup

cerulean valve
#

Well, I don't know what to say that doesn't sound like a cliché.

#

Sometimes shit gets hard and all you can do is endure, something better will come out sooner or later.

#

You're gonna be alright, just hang in there.

#

Were here for you.

west phoenix
#

i appreciate that, i'm sorry for talking about it. it's not really relevant or fun

cerulean valve
#

Neither is bottleing it up.

#

God know i talk out of experience

zinc topaz
#

Stop apologizing for stuff you dont need to apologize for 💔😭

west phoenix
#

and also feel really stupid how wasteful i was with my money, i have enough to last 2-3 months but i spent like $550 on art alone because i wanted to get something out of my job

zinc topaz
# cerulean valve God know i talk out of experience

No shit and i should take my own advice here but trying to not acknowledge shit that's actively hurting you is the worst. it's either going to eat away at you from the inside or the outside, and at least when its on the outside other people can help you with it

west phoenix
#

i mean, its literally my fault. i don't think there's really anything anyone can offer that isn't "you'll be ok :)" when i'm the one who did it

zinc topaz
#

besides i really do think that the very least humanity should be capable of is to be there as a community to help each other. if we dont have community we have nothing

west phoenix
#

i at least have a good lead with one of my former bosses, she said she'll get back to me in a week or two

zinc topaz
#

what kind of place is it?

west phoenix
#

starbucks lmfao, nothing worthwhile

#

that being said it is the best boss i've ever had which is hard to come by

zinc topaz
#

genuinely a good boss is 80% of what makes a place worth working at or not

#

which is why i'm trying to quit my current job, as good as it is otherwise i can not fucking stand the guy above me

west phoenix
#

she saw me going through a lot and still thinks highly of me. i was unmedicated, just moved here, and was going through a lot. pretty much everyone who used to work there still does and its been 2+ years, that's a really good sign

#

some of which quit like i did and then came back lmao

zinc topaz
#

i'd rather clean up animal shit in zoo enclosures for my best boss than get paid to sit on my ass all day by my worst boss

west phoenix
#

yeah thats what did it for me at this last job, management was just straight up cruel. there's only 1 manager i met there that i would want to work under and her cafe wasn't accepting transfers

zinc topaz
#

lol i've only been at my current job a year and i'm the second oldest employee

zinc topaz
west phoenix
#

when i was legit a hazard to myself and others because i had no kitchen experience

zinc topaz
#

fuck those guys. at the end of the day if it's helping you stay more stable than before i wouldn't kick yourself for quitting

west phoenix
#

but i don't want to talk about this here, it's awkward, you can DM me about it if you want

zinc topaz
#

that's fine! if you want to keep chatting about it just send me a dm :>

Hey sorry if this is the wrong place for this - I'm wanting to run a LANCER one shot to try and give some friends a taste and the name of this campaign is violently appropriate to me, is it a good idea to just use the first combat of act 1?

#

(I'm just reading through it all now)

noble ivy
#

plus ||denial of service|| has more interesting characters in case your group likes to RP mid combat

harsh sparrow

Sweet, thankyou. I'll put that together. I got a table of people who haven't played before as well as a friend that did a campaign with me like 3 years ago so we're trying to figure out what LL to go for as well.

upbeat hemlock
#

I did a Fight 0 for my players to get them used to the rules, and used the same sitrep for that as is used in ||Denial of Service|| so I think it's a good intro to Lancer's approach of combat not being 100% about just killing the other guys
