None so vile

which is so god damn good once it clicks

#

at first it sounds all over the place and the singer sounds like a literal animal (he's called Lord Worm so its fitting)

but once you look and observe how controlled the chaos actually is its amazing

like at ANY second they can go haywire but it doesnt somehow

Spheres of Madness is such an infectious song

also Lord Worm also worked as an ESL teacher after leaving the band

A pepernoot (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpeːpərˌnoːt]; plural: pepernoten [ˈpeːpərˌnoːtə(n)]; literally, "pepper nuts") is a Dutch cookie-like confectionery, traditionally associated with the early December Sinterklaas holiday in the Netherlands and Belgium.

I wonder what’s the logistics behind this?
Like - there’s so many different combinations of various artists showing up in people’s top 5

#

Like - did they contact all of them and told them to record a vid or something?
I’m really curious how it works behind the scenes

#

Also my top most listened track is one I…
Don’t even really like KEKW

like usseewa by ado (but tbf i only started listening to that song last month, and i've had poison in my playlist since february so it makes sense)

nope

but then again - it's a topic i'm not actively looking for

quickly before ill jump in the shower

#

can't you just take a step?

random sedge
#

ok ive 11 games installed

#

Alien Iso, Cult of the lamb, Drop system breach, Hades I and II, Harry potter lego, Mini ninja's, Portal I and II, Slay the spire and Soma

royal relic
#

nice PES2_HmmmmThumbsUp

#

between STS and soma...
i can't decide which one deals more psychic damage dusa

random sedge
#

i could install Control Ultimate edition but............idk dont wanna have the steam deck explode lmao

royal relic
#

DUDE

#

i have control on me deck

#

installed it after finishing it twice

#

well - finishing it once on pc
and enduring it on ps4 (at 13 frames per second)

#

and i got it on the deck just to test it out
as this sort of benchmark

random sedge
#

and?

royal relic
#

and if you tweak your settings right it's gonna look better than it does on ps4

#

while running at locked 45 fps

random sedge
#

how bout Prey?

royal relic
#

that infamous staircase that was C H U G G I N G at 13 fps on ps4 does 42-45 fps on the deck

random sedge
#

also NEAT that you also play Control i love the story line💜 even tho im not that far yet

royal relic
#

probably even more, i just limited it to 45

#

i'm... actually not the biggest fan of control's story

#

i like it's writing, but not the story as a whole

#

but it's still a damn fine game

random sedge
#

oh i forgot lol also nice you can charge the steam deck while its powered off something nintendo cant do

royal relic
#

there's one point around halfway through control that just makes me go like

#
  • tf was the point of this then? *
random sedge
# royal relic wait what

ive restarted actually cos of reasons like getting OVERPOWERED BOSSES ABOVE your own level 🫠

random sedge
royal relic
#

overpowered bosses?
in control?

random sedge
#

i was waaaaay lower due to sidequests

royal relic
#

im super confused

#

but maybe it's because i find control to be the easiest remedy game

#

probably because it doesn't have difficulty settings but this magical director system thingy that does whatever it wants

random sedge
royal relic
#

like - it's nowhere near the absurd difficulty levels of max payne 1

#

i wouldn't even call control a AA game dusa

#

like - remedy had to cut down HARD on a lot of aspects after quantum break

random sedge
royal relic
#

now that was AAA
but it didn't make a lot of money

random sedge
#

also they are busy making a Control sequel

royal relic
random sedge
#

and ofc Bioshock too >:3 bioshock 4

royal relic
#

they're actually really good at masking that relatively small team and budget with their fancy-ass in-house engine and piles of sheer talent

random sedge
#

yay

royal relic
random sedge
#

hm..should i do it should i download control? ive it on pc already

#

and thats a 165Hz montitor

royal relic
#

yeah get it on the deck
it plays well, looks amazing for a handheld

random sedge
#

how bout in docked mode?

royal relic
#

and playing on sticks at least gives some vague sense of challenge

#

instead of kbm being a complete cakewalk PES2_AngerySleep

royal relic
#

shouldn't be that different to handheld mode, right?

random sedge
#

royal relic
random sedge
#

ive 813 gb free XD

#

i mean if i dislike it i can always un-install

#

Oh? lemme turn my pc on steam gave me a heads-up that i can download the game locally quicker if i turn the pc on

#

😮

royal relic
#

yeah

it's... a feature?

i'm not 100% if i got this bit right, but
i didn't realize they had fixed mipmaps

#

with camera zooming in and out since...
well - since bastion, really
like in that zia level or some vistas in transistor or the camera going aPES_WideEyes in pyre

#

you'd think that would be more noticable

random sedge
#

no idea...what ur talking bout

royal relic
#

mipmaps

tall owl
#

mapmips

royal relic
# random sedge no idea...what ur talking bout

ok so i'm not really qualified to talk about this ||despite writing my own engine using opengl libraries that had to deal with mipmaps back at uni lmao||, but
imagine having a really detailed, grainiy texture in a game
like sand or something

#

that looks really sharp and clean when looked up close

random sedge
#

im a gamer ok not a dev😭

random sedge
royal relic
#

now - when you zoom out the camera all those pixels that make all those fine little details will cover less and less of your screen
and eventually it will look like they're "fighting" for screen real estate (i'm really simplifying this but i hope you get the point)

#

and here's where mipmaps come in
mipmaps are like... lower resolution versions of the same texture

#

and the game will switch between full res and mipmaps depending on the distance and how much (or how little) screen said texture takes

#

so in this sand texture example - as you zoom out, the game will go like "oh ok so this texture is far away so the player can't really take a good look at it so i won't bother wasting processing power on rendering the full resolution texture and switch to a smaller mipmap - since it takes a smaller part of the screen"

#

and this lower quality version ironically looks better when viewed from a distance and runs better

#

anyways - going back to supergiant games, uh
games

random sedge
#

ok

royal relic
#

that presentation says "exported at fixed mip levels" - which is kinda vague for me
but what i think it means is that there's very little set mip levels
like - i dunno - 2x maybe?

#

and i'm surprised cause i was expecting a more robust solution for those games

#

unless i just didn't understand that point and im just talking crazy
which is a possibility

it's bink video
of course it's bink PES_Lul

#

oooohhh PES_Interesting
so in hades 2 enemies are actually 3d models instead of sprites / bink videos

#

yeah i kinda suspected that
after seeing those tiny spinny guys in the first biome i was like "now hang on a minute something ain't right here" PES_Suspicious

#

and there was some aliasing on the screaming ghost ladies (i'm bad with remembering names)

tall owl

thats what homer called them

nah i think he called them marge dusa

i was thinking about it but i dunno enough about simpsons

i wish i could follow any of those rules

like yeah this slide is called "engineering practises"
but it could be applied to design in general

tall owl
#

why didn't they put subway surfers gameplay next to the slides, i can barely follow

royal relic
#

actually - all this talk made me thonk aThonk

#

i wonder if the fact that characters and enemies aren't bink videos anymore in hades 2 is the reason why it runs better than 1 on the deck

especially considering how visually busy this game can get

so i was rather freaked out
i thought it was something going on with my pc
especially after installing some third party blender plugins like an hour ago

so i gave it a hard reset
and lo and behold - it was just microsoft shoving an update down my PCs throat so hard it blacked out

a forced update

made my pc freak out so bad it made me think i got some malicious crap

Anyone lowkey just loves dairy products?

Like dude, milk, so many types of cheeses, so many types of yogurts, ice cream

my coffee usually has milk in it. coffee is the best dairy product

royal relic

wow
a lukewarm take i actually agree with

#

kinda

#

take milk out of it completely and then i'll completely agree dusa

mild pelican
#

some time ago i've stumbled across some oatmilk, and decided to give it a try just for the sake of it

#

(it was also cheaper)

#

and suddenly, it's pretty nice

#

by the taste, it's just a milk, with some oat flavor added

#

perfect for breakfast with flakes or something

muted smelt
#

its very interesting that its cheaper than milk. always see them as more expensive

mild pelican
#

maybe it's because milk price here have already taken off into the stratosphere due to many reasons, and these kind of alternatives are sorta new

tall owl
#

Though I feel like oat milk replaced soy milk which isn‘t super good, oat milk can taste iffy

muted smelt
#

gonna go a long way before it can replace soy milk here

the tastiest milk alternative though....is coconut milk

i wonder though if it's really what's inside coconuts from the beginning, or there's some kind of processing involved, just like with other types

it tastes okay, but puts some kind of lump in the throat, like, a choking feeling

# haughty shuttle idk what that means but very cool (in a sad way)

For example if a company uses PayPal PayPal should protect your payment and item you bought however with friends and relevant that protection layer is gone every new payment request the "friend" has will be marked as allowed since you gave them allowance...aka every request for money will be accepted and it will draw your bank account empty even to the minus they can even make payments that way....especially if your..ahum gullible enough to give your credit card details and stuff
