[fathom juniper]

yeah exactly - it's just an rng fest

[clear python]

skill issue for u potentially!

[fathom juniper]

once you get that down - you're golden

anyway - civetta summit, OFB, Eiger remixed by Cardrige 1987

best possible combo in the entire game

i gotta bail

[lusty pendant]

I actually came in here initially just to say I'm listening to the clair obscur soundtrack and it feels like the octopath one but monochrome

[clear python]

toyed with the idea of 100%'ing rollerdrome but 'beat 1.9M score' as the very first challenge in OFB makes a bit of a dent in that lol

[mystic wave]

Whoever said murder mystery is the main point of disco Elysium is selling it short and selling it wrong

[lusty pendant]

nobody said it to me but it was what's on the tin

[rustic falcon]

never played octopatch but ive been enjoying watching my friend play e33 so if you have an example from the former id love to hear it

[lusty pendant]

https://youtu.be/T6ORAtHM3_U

Also
https://youtu.be/drXtHsFM37U

These are the ones that give me the similar vibe to the e33 soundtrack

But I think octopath has more instrument variety

Eg https://youtu.be/JIwylZDryZE

I guess Octo 2 has a leg up in this aspect because many tracks have a nighttime mix

Different game but this has the exact same beginning syllable as a E33 track that I went like "wat" when it started

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

[fathom juniper]

oh yeah i saw that

and i was kinda expecting this clustertruck of attack to deal like...

2 damage

[lost igloo]

https://www.humblebundle.com/games/9-circles-bullet-hell-survivors-bundle

Worth it for Vampire survivors alone. But I've heard great things gs about atomicrops

[mystic wave]

Picayune is the goat here

Especially that soundtrack

[ocean iris]

I swear I see this meme on each launch of a new Doom

Anyways today Im gonna install the new Doom on gamepass

[fathom juniper]

[ocean iris]

some friends made me get gamepass to play coop Halo Infinite and was like

"Damn this thing has the new Doom and Expedition 33???"

[fathom juniper]

Id love to hear your opinions on the new doot

[ocean iris]

I played Eternal on launch on gamepass as well

Never finished it but now I have it on steam with family share

[fathom juniper]

Dude eternal is so good

[ocean iris]

Expect that tomorrow since it must be a big game to install

[ocean iris]

Right?

[fathom juniper]

It’s kinda like dmc where your playthrough is basically a tutorial

[ocean iris]

Honestly Gamepass gave me many times the privillege to play games on launch day for only 8 euros

Wasteland 3, Doom Eternal....

[fathom juniper]

Actually eternal had a pretty skinny instal file

It was like
40 gigs to download at launch?

[ocean iris]

Uhhh no idea

[fathom juniper]

None of that fat ass 150 gigs install files there

[ocean iris]

You know how much to install would Dark Ages be?

[fathom juniper]

Bleh

[ocean iris]

Also I gotta make sure it can run xddd

[fathom juniper]

No idea

[ocean iris]

84gb

brah

didnt expect more
didnt expect less

[woven breach]

eternal now is 88 gb

[ocean iris]

wtf

minus the expansions?

[woven breach]

I only have base game

[ocean iris]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-quagmire-glen-jaw-gif-22600043

file sizes are getting a bit too cheeky

I NEED to get an additional ssd

[fathom juniper]

Honestly ?
That’s not bad

Id say it’s fine for a AAA game in 2025

Over 100 gigs is when we get into the territory

[fathom juniper]

Oh I’m pretty sure there’s more than just a base game there

It wasn’t this chonky in 2020

[woven breach]

probably

updates and skins

[fathom juniper]

And horse mode and multiplayer and probably the dlc too

[clear python]

100 GB for the content vomit cosmetics that constantly plop up with gift notifications

[fathom juniper]

HORDE MODE

not horse mode

[woven breach]

I'd pay for doom horse mode

[fathom juniper]

Same

[fathom juniper]

Oh someone got to run this thing ima steam deck

Before even the official launch

[woven breach]

Jedi survivor is 130 gigs

[clear python]

i dont even remember what game it was (well its multiple) where the intro cutscene ends and the second you can control your character you get 50 popups of unlocking cringe artstyle-destroying items BRO I HAVENT EVEN STARTED PLAYING

[ocean iris]

dude

the specs are insane

raytracing capable gpu for MINUMUM????

ist das over fur mich?

[clear python]

no bro u dont get it they need it for super precise raycasterinos!!!!

as everyone knows, doom is the pristine game for evaluating if one bullet from your shotgun hit an area that was fur and not metal!

[fathom juniper]

Nah
Those requirements are overblown

Seriously - this crap ran on the deck before even the launch

[ocean iris]

dude
the dark ages REQUIRES raytracing

[fathom juniper]

You’re gonna be fine

[fathom juniper]

Oh yeah
It’s borderlands 2

Every single thing you got is a single popup
A window that takes half the screen and contains like…
A single line

And you have to click each one of them

[clear python]

oh deffo that

[ocean iris]

dude I got an RX580 8GB

[fathom juniper]

Ah

[ocean iris]

But a friend can sell me his RX 6750 XT

for uhhh

150 euros

which mind you the retail price is 400 euros

and he said he's giving it to me cheaper cuz Im his friend and its in mint condition

i just gotta work my ass off at mom's to get that 150

ah crap it needs 650W

Guess I'll get a new PSU too

[lost igloo]

and an new MB, and might as well get a new processor, and a new case, and a new SSD...

[fathom juniper]

A new display while we’re at it

Ah- one more wouldn’t hurt

[rustic falcon]

lol this is why i didnt buy any new pc parts when i had the means

need to upgrade this to upgrade that which means i need to upgrade this etc. etc.

[fathom juniper]

Oh yeah the rabbit hole is real

It never ends

[rustic falcon]

also 4090 still melts cables so im good for now

[fathom juniper]

It’s like the ship of theseus but with rocks that do math

[rustic falcon]

i bought a phone instead which... idk why, my old one wasnt absurdly due for an upgrade

impulsive decision after a conversation with my aunt

but its a nice phone

[fathom juniper]

Which one did you get ?

[woven breach]

I originally wanted this for my PC

but the used market here is sketchy

[clear python]

man i dont wanna buy a new phone… (i always just used my dad‘s old ones he got from his company lol)

[fathom juniper]

RTX 3060 for sale cheap!
-slightly used
||two years of constant crypto mining||

[rustic falcon]

i told myself if i get something new it might as well be new so i had a look at iphone 16 and man, i dont want a camera that can occasionally be used for texts and i can barely hold in my hand... regardless i found out they have a version of it thats stripped of most of the bells and whistles and even has better battery life so i got that

[clear python]

yeah those smoler versions are my lifeline

i dont need features and i dont need a phablet

[rustic falcon]

when i was looking into which type out of the five versions of iphone 16's that are out there, i encountered a lot of reviews comparing them that list the only downside of this phone as "it only comes in two colors"

get real

[fathom juniper]

Oh you mean an iPhone 16e?

Here’s my hot tip
And this is coming from someone who’s been using iPhones since 2009 and now occasionally sells them

Just get a good condition second hand iPhone 12 or 13

They’re the same specs
They’re cheaper
And they’re the last iPhones that had smaller models

12 and 13 minis

[rustic falcon]

like, look at this

[clear python]

it‘s like video game reviews with a +/- list and it‘s clear they had to make up things for it. ‚some animations are wooden‘ and other useless stupid stuff

[rustic falcon]

yeah i really hate that

not to rag on video essayists. but when they make videos about things they do not know about or just pad them with criticism that are like not even meaningful i remember why i dont watch them

[fathom juniper]

Tell me about it

If I had a dollar for every video about doom 1 or 2 that was factually wrong I could retire

[clear python]

thats why i cant watch video game essays. sooo much filler and i‘d rather play the game

brevity is a skill…

[fathom juniper]

And live comfortably on some tropical island

[rustic falcon]

a video popped on my youtube feed that seemed interesting enough (about how fonts change the feel of a game) so i clicked it and became more miserable the more it went on. at the end i was so mad that ive been avoiding opening youtube since

[clear python]

it‘s a win for you

[fathom juniper]

became more miserable the more it went on.

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-gif-7646648

Im getting flashbacks over here

[rustic falcon]

its fine because it was a 15 min video iirc and i watched it on double speed but oh boy...

[clear python]

a friend of mine recently discovered ‚rage modelling‘. He has trouble focusing on 3d modeling things so now he plays a game of deadlock that makes him rage and then he can model uninterrupted for 2 hours

[rustic falcon]

ahahah what

[fathom juniper]

You watch videos on double speed ?

[rustic falcon]

depends

[fathom juniper]

That’s actually genius

[clear python]

it‘s so funny

‚i modelled and textured this potted plant in a fit of rage‘

[rustic falcon]

i watched hundreds of hours of critical role, so those are double speed. if theres something i feel drags on (like a video essay here and then) i also do that. some of them are interesting enough to leave on original speed and some are so boring even with double speed that i close the tab

[fathom juniper]

I wish this worked on me cause I haven’t done any proper modding in 6 months and ihni ep2 is on hold but I’m seeing people actually playing ep1 and enjoying it and asking for 2 so it’s like

There’s some pressure for me to finally finish it

But GOD I’m so sick and tired of this thing

[clear python]

shall we ask you ‚how‘s modding‘ every day then

[fathom juniper]

I have a rule on a different server
Every time anyone asks me about it I delay the launch by one month

Currently we’re at December 2036

[clear python]

i think i found the reason then

[rustic falcon]

a video about fonts that after the desclaimer that she dont know much about typography, she mis-spell "serif" as "seraph" in BIG text on the video that has thousands of views that some people will go like "wow so cool and true" without thinking about it

[clear python]

lmao

[fathom juniper]

I saw a vid about something last week and the dude went „this video isn’t sponsored by anyone and” blah blah blah

[rustic falcon]

oh and that video was in fact sponsored by gamemaker

[fathom juniper]

And not a minute later it cuts to a different shot and he goes „but before we continue - let’s thank our today’s sponsor Hello Fresh”

And I was like

[hexed kindle]

been playing doom. i'm enjoying it 😔

[fathom juniper]

Based pfp

And choice of games

[clear python]

yikes! good use of the pensive emote!

[fathom juniper]

Oh shush

2 out of 3 ain’t bad

[hexed kindle]

i use pensive emote a tad too much tbh

[clear python]

😔 ✊

[fathom juniper]

😔

I love the gundusa combo

[clear python]

and dusa loves you

[fathom juniper]

Aaaawww

[rustic falcon]

"why do i watch videos on double speed" i just clicked on another random video i was interested in and the ad was 2 minutes long

[fathom juniper]

Oh you wanna talk YouTube ads?

Brace yourself for this

BAM!

They’re doubles too

[clear python]

the american football experience

[fathom juniper]

Also I’ve been getting nothing but anime gacha games ads with a lot of t&a for some reason

Probably because I was watching that mad inventor lab dude and he’s got some anime plushies in almost every episode

[clear python]

targeted for polish grumpy gamer (u)

[fathom juniper]

Lmao

[rustic falcon]

i am 40 minutes into this video and she said "unalive"

there are like 5 minutes left but i cant tell if im too far in or i dont want to take any more of it

[hexed kindle]

last week i suffered from expedition 33 addiction. now it's doom addiction 😔

wonder what it'll be next week

[fathom juniper]

Rollerdrome

[lost igloo]

I thought it was funny when someone first asked me if Rockstar might wait till October to announce that GTA6 comes out in December. But now i'm starting to wonder if Rockstar is actually shady enough to pull something like that

[fathom juniper]

You mean
This year?

[lost igloo]

Yeah, for end of quarter/Christmas money

[lusty pendant]

Inb4 GTA gacha

[fathom juniper]

You mean a gtacha?

This silence is deafening
I can almost hear the crickets

[lusty pendant]

I was walking to places lmao

[fathom juniper]

so i'm watching the digital foundry tech whatevertheheck of doom the dork ages
and it seems like you should easily get away with using just 6 gigs of vram at decent quality

https://youtu.be/-FjdOQmAHpk?t=1007

like - there's barely any difference between low and medium settings

the difference between medium and high requires a microscope

[ocean iris]

but the ray tracing? it's mandatory

[fathom juniper]

and high vs everything else does literally nothing at this point

[fathom juniper]

dude i'm telling you
it's using vulcan and people got it to run at mostly stable 30fps on a freaking steam deck

can your GPU outperform a steam deck?

[clear python]

Ah yes 30fps doom, like god intended

[hybrid jetty]

I'm very confused about this game's requirements lol I thought raytracing was mandatory

[fathom juniper]

uuuuuhhhh
EXCUSE YOU

it's 35 fps

[fathom juniper]

on one hand - yes, it is required
on paper - on the system specs sheet

with i called bull right from the start
really overblown

given how wonderfully optimised idtech is

and it turns out that you can get away without an RT card

though your milage may vary

[hybrid jetty]

wish there was a benchmark test like mh wilds had

[fathom juniper]

listen, mate @ocean iris
i don't know when your gpu came out, but please at least try it

[fathom juniper]

like a separate free download or something?

yeah that would be cool

and hell - even if your gpu can't handle the dooms
just give modders a few months, tops

[ocean iris]

will try

[fathom juniper]

also - mark my words
screencap this post if you have to

before 2025 ends someone surely will find a way to cram some e1m1 into this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtAjq9qbsCk

[ocean iris]

@fathom juniper Imma do something stupid and leave my PC on overnight to download the new Doom just to see that it doesnt work

[fathom juniper]

how's that stupid?

[ocean iris]

no idea

also

i ordered a new SSD

:DD

it's a kingston m.2 1tb ssd, 2nd gen of it's series and it was only 30 euros

since it's at it's 3rd gen

but still blistering fast compared to my sata SSD

my sata ssd has a 520mb/s writing speed
meanwhile this one is like, 3500mb/s

[fathom juniper]

oh yeah ssds have gotten super cheap in the last few years

[ocean iris]

meanwhile i paid 50 bucks for my 1 TB sata SSD back in 2020

[fathom juniper]

i think an onboard ssd and a portable chonky hdd is the best combo

that's what i'm running right now and it works wonderfully

[ocean iris]

i got only 1TB of HDD, I should have gotten more

[fathom juniper]

also
i kinda like the sounds the HDD makes

[ocean iris]

i swear to god 2TB aint even enough these days

or maybe i suck at managing my space

[fathom juniper]

lmao get rekt

[ocean iris]

cuz i download loads of games, files, programs and other bs

[fathom juniper]

but yeah - 1tb isn't that much nowadays

[ocean iris]

real

i got that one 1tb of sata ssd
and 1 tb of HDD

and soon another 1TB of M.2

also downloaded Expeditions on gamepass

it's a mudrunner spinoff

finally, an offroad sim game with actual offroad cars and not trucks

[fathom juniper]

oh it's the one with that cool mud physics, right?

[ocean iris]

yep

holy crap dude

i forgot this game had besides the whole differential locks and all that

a god damn tire inflation system

[fathom juniper]

huh
the only other game i played that had some tire pressure physics... stuff
was LFS

[ocean iris]

not bad but jesus

the game looks way too red to play on night light mode on my monitor

ill just wake up at 2 AM to check on doom

might be installed by then

[fathom juniper]

still better than getting flashbanged by the all-white namco bandai logo in souls games

or the pure white settings screen in marathon

[ocean iris]

real

[fathom juniper]

god that thing sucked

it's like - here's this dark, moody, spoopy shooter that's best played at night

and suddenly boom

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

[ocean iris]

if the dark ages doesnt work
ill say screw it and install doom eternal
aaaand expedition 33 while at that

[fathom juniper]

hell yeah

[ocean iris]

seems like doom eternal on steam family share also has all DLC

also why are the ancient gods 1 and 2 so mixed and negative on steam?

[fathom juniper]

i'm gonna get my gamer card revoked

||i never played the dlc lmao||

[ocean iris]

me neither

i only played eternal on launch

[rustic falcon]

I love this gif

[fathom juniper]

ah crap the mods are here to revoke my gamer card

... or not

[rustic falcon]

yeah hand it over

[fathom juniper]

YOU WILL NEVER CATCH ME ALIVE!

[fathom juniper]

i'm guessing it's because TAG1 filtered a lot of people and TAG2 hand an ending that... not many liked

but that was a few years ago

[ocean iris]

from what i saw people are mad with the level design

[fathom juniper]

dunno
haven't played it

all i know is that one level takes place in the last of us-land

also - keep in mind that doom fans are generally really picky

myself included

i wonder how long till people figure out dark age's dominant strat

like with the ssg+balista

or PB+balista

or rocket+balista

[clear python]

cringe?

[fathom juniper]

cringe!?

hey how's OFB going?

[clear python]

i keep dying in the third level, where the enemies start bunching up in this lil glass chamber of death

[fathom juniper]

the snowy level?

[clear python]

civetta, the one you raved about earlier

[fathom juniper]

yeyeyeyeyeyeyeye

dude how cool is that glass though

you and all enemies can shoot individual chunks out of it

anyways - that glass chamber of death is like wave 3
but there's still some enemies outside when most of the inside crew spawns in

so when i'm not showing off for a replay i usually use the outside guys to trigger super reflex and just snipe all the guys inside

[clear python]

yeah that was my thought as well

[fathom juniper]

OR
clear everyone outside but make sure youre going inside with full ammo

then use one of the shield guys to trigger super reflex and just magdump the mecha brut

removing that one mech makes it so much easier

[clear python]

tried to lob some nades in and ate three rockets instantly lmao

[fathom juniper]

oh hey
i even have an emote for that

[clear python]

also i seriously dont understand the z11, you charge it up for ten minutes and it removes half a healthbar from the mech flamethrower

[fathom juniper]

yeah the z11 isn't the best for mechs

it's the Stomper Removal Tool ™️

[clear python]

i dont understand what it's good for. oneshot super reflex for the blue ray guys but then i'd rather use the pistol

it oneshots the people i dont need to oneshot lol

[fathom juniper]

it's your sniper rifle

it can oneshot basically anyone from any point of the map

[clear python]

cant say i ever needed that lol. specially with my aim. maybe if i really needed to keep a streak going

[fathom juniper]

here's a hot tip:
that crosshair? it's your best friend

like - if you get it close enough to an enemy to make it turn red - pull the trigger

even if it looks like it won't hit BECAUSE
it still does have quite a lot of autoaim

like this bit right here:
https://youtu.be/i3azCklEAAg?t=30

none of those shots should hit
but the crosshair told me it would take care of aiming so i pulled the trigger

[clear python]

oh well just finished it

uh the level

not the entire game

[fathom juniper]

ayyyy

[clear python]

uh but now the mall. i suck at those

[fathom juniper]

the first mall level is fine

the one with that has two floors is super hard

[clear python]

even in normal mode i can barely figure out how to get up lmao

[fathom juniper]

i love the first one because it greets you right away with two mechs
and you have no ammo to deal with them

[clear python]

and the first one, i still have big troubles with that weird middle ground, the mezzanine area

[fathom juniper]

the hwat area

[clear python]

where you go up the escalator to the slightly higher up area where barely anyone is (in normal mode)

there's like a blue ray guy and a sniper

[fathom juniper]

oh yeah
that place is... kinda jank?

i always somehow manage to faceplant a wall there

that second mall level is my least fave one

because a half of it is kinda useless

[twin yarrow]

lots of lore shenanigans, with retcons of retcons and somewhat rushed structure that makes little sense

[fathom juniper]

ono muh doom plot

[twin yarrow]

meanwhile i decided to replay all the og dooms before Dark ages and stuck with making mods "for myself" and self-imposed challenges of no-death UV-maxing everything

pluck my chungus life

[fathom juniper]

whatcha making there?

[clear python]

ok i died in 20 secs in houston mall and then finished it, that was good

[twin yarrow]

not much, hoarding guns and general improvements from other mods mostly

but i now am looking at Titan 13 figurines and thinking about turning one into a spritesheet.. i need somebody to stop me

[fathom juniper]

nah i won't stop you

[twin yarrow]

i figured

[fathom juniper]

[clear python]

i figurined

[fathom juniper]

hey if you're so full of creative energy
wanna take over ihni for me?

cause i can't even stand looking at the effin thing

[twin yarrow]

you're asking a dude picking up "nicely looking sticks" to take over your family blacksmith shop

you know, it'll not take me any less than 11 years as well

[fathom juniper]

actually
i don't think i've ever seen your stuff

is it on doomworld?
or the zdoom forums?

[twin yarrow]

i've never posted anything

[fathom juniper]

ah
i see

[twin yarrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1086865528833970256/1372675406720798891/image.png?ex=6827a318&is=68265198&hm=04111c982ecbdb06151f0263aa3819c80f516937c8c53240c4daaf0595a0fbe8&

health items are mine, though.. and the statusbar

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1086865528833970256/1372674975701532692/image.png?ex=6827a2b1&is=68265131&hm=27aa0000067a7df24efcea531f83feb3b8b720670bb8b4f91c65021bf4f44dbc&

[fathom juniper]

reminds me of the first statbar i made
same cholor scheme, same idea

i just used tha SHAWN2 texture for it

[twin yarrow]

ye, it kinda asks for it.. i've seen some variations as well

[fathom juniper]

nice beta ssg too

this is where that stray brown pixel comes from btw

[twin yarrow]

yeah, im afraid i accidentally removed it

[fathom juniper]

yeah the final ssg has a single brown pixel sticking out of the left barrel

once someone pointed that out of me i was never able to unsee it

[twin yarrow]

oh, actually not, it's down on the hand

[fathom juniper]

yeah

you're welcome
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638031423340806185/1372677691668697088/image.png?ex=6827a538&is=682653b8&hm=6e4478ff4becca771b633058cfed7ca467777626ad3ce011628e6ed8842fe3b7&

you can't unsee it now

game = ruined

[twin yarrow]

it's interesting though.. all the levels are made with the option of pistol-starting, right.. so every level has ways to pick up viable weapons eventually

[fathom juniper]

yup

[twin yarrow]

and the shotgun can be picked up as a separate item in each and every map

but nobody really needs it since shotgun guys drop it

[fathom juniper]

yeah but what if there's no shotgun guys on the level?

[twin yarrow]

can that be?

idk, never played below HMP

[fathom juniper]

the HUMP as i call it

[twin yarrow]

noticed when made all the zombies drop ammo only

there was an idea eventually to make all the enemies appear from every difficulty levels, but those who appear more often has to have better speed and reaction time.. don't know if it's possible without map editing or complex scripting

ACS's are still a dark forest for me

[fathom juniper]

you'd have to do some DECORATE for that

i mean
i guess you could to do this through ACS and SetActorProperty() function
but that's just needlesly complicating things

or you could do this with zscript
in this case - god be with you

[twin yarrow]

might look for it, actually

[fathom juniper]

DM me if you need some help
don't wanna clog up this channel any more

[twin yarrow]

zscript seems more complicated for now, but not something extremely crazy

okay

[fathom juniper]

dude i'm avoiding zscript like a plague

[twin yarrow]

well, i studied C++ at university, so zscirpt is not too alien for me

[fathom juniper]

it didn't make things any easier

it's like pilk

Played through the first level of Doom: TDA. I actually liked it.

[lusty pendant]

after playing a few small indie games I realized one QOL thing I take for granted - if I open a multi-tab menu, go to another tab, quit out, and go into the menu again, it should open to the other tab and not the default home position

most glaringly in metroidvanias where the map isn't the first thing that comes up in the menu

[dense kindle]

really sucks if you're tweaking settings a lot and exiting menu to see how you like it

[clear python]

LOL

[fathom juniper]

welp
it was still worth a try

so wait
hang on
so how in tf is this thing running on a steamdeck?

Gotta love losing a whole inventory worth of items for no reason

Like, I already knew TPS has some bugs, but not to this level

[fathom juniper]

The presequel?

[signal kayak]

Yes

[fathom juniper]

And it ate all your gear?

Did you have any legendaries ?

[signal kayak]

Thankfully not

But this kind of bug is unacceptable

My equipped gear is thankfully untouched, though, good thing because that would have been a Vibra Pulse gone

[fathom juniper]

TPS’ drops are so crap the game actively steals stuff from you

Anyways check this out

[hexed kindle]

doom the dark ages is cool. expedition 33 is cool

i wonder what's the next cool game this year

[fathom juniper]

amugus 3d

thps 3+4, kf3 (hoping they'll fix it after that atrocious beta), mafia 4, mgs3 remake, boredomlands4, deltarune something, death stranding 2, elden ring fortnite

and hopefully that weird german game with an absurdly long name

the PVKK or whatever

this thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DquTRgapsiM

then there's the movies
MI8 is in cinemas right now, nobody 2 got announced recently (which is... surprising)
and i'm hoping, praying for kung fury 2

so yeah - this year is absolutely stacked

oh and also - valve is cooking... something

[twin yarrow]

so many games i'll not gonna play, that's crazy

[clear python]

cant wait for the 2030 bundles

[fathom juniper]

honestly?
out of all of them i'm the most interested in PVKK

and thps when it goes on sale

as long as it runs on a base ps4 cause it's a great couch party game

[clear python]

thps = the hast pf uS (if you wondered)

[ocean iris]

the new doom would be cooler if it didnt decide to eliminate half their playerbase with non RT gpu's 💔

back to Eternal it is

(i also installed expedition 33 on gamepass)

[fathom juniper]

well hey
if you wanna play some cool new doom you never played before i could point you in a direction of some cool gzdoom mods

[hexed kindle]

i wouldn't know what that is 😔 I'm playing it on xcloud

[fathom juniper]

like reelism2!

[ocean iris]

basically if your GPU does not have ray tracing support, you cannot play the game

[hexed kindle]

oh yeah i did play the closed beta for elden ring nightingale and loved my time with it

[ocean iris]

which is VERY antithetical to the doom spirit

[ocean iris]

nnnnngh got a job just in time to get it :3

[hexed kindle]

mgs3 delta looks sick. death stranding 2 has a giant robot so it's sick. a lot of them games look sick

[fathom juniper]

is it?
doom has always been pushing some cool new tech

hell - idsoftware games in general

[ocean iris]

too bad mgs delta will be on UE5 so its gonna be a pain to run

[ocean iris]

well

[fathom juniper]

HURRRRR

[ocean iris]

it was accessible new tech

like, I could run Eternal very well on my 2018 RX 580

[fathom juniper]

so is raytracing
7 years old cards have it

[ocean iris]

it is completely possible to make great looking games that run on lower spec hardware and also have a pertinent file size

[fathom juniper]

like - i may not be the biggest fan of how raytracing is implemented in... most games

but so far all outside evidence and my own eyes point to DTDA being really, really well optimized

it's like the 3d accelerated cards kerfuffle all over again

listen - i'm not saying you're not right
you kinda are

my point is that - it's not that bad of an issue

[hexed kindle]

I don't get this cloud technology at all because expedition 33 run at 30 fps all blurry while im getting stable 60 with doom TDA

maybe it's because it's a xbox studios game so maybe it's better optimized for it

[fathom juniper]

i'd rather have a game that's pushing some new tech while being really well optimized over most other AAA titles that don't do either

[fathom juniper]

oh that's a whole different can of worms with like a milion different variables that contribute to the picture quality

[hexed kindle]

yeah i kinda imagined there has to be something here because there's a really expressive gap between the two 😭

[clear python]

can't even be mad at TDA because I'm mad enough at CS2

[fathom juniper]

cs2?

you mean - you're angy at source 2 or just the general structure of cs2?

[clear python]

cs2 is the only sauce 2 game i played to cant comment on the engine, but it's SO BAD

and it doesn't even have to be because you could bake most things in that game

it's just insane to me how badly it runs

[fathom juniper]

yeah that's the thing

cs2 and hla use A LOT of baked lighting

and it runs like a dream on my machine and looks gorgeous

like - i always went to cs:go maps for inspiration on how to make stuff good and run well
i was trying to learn all the little tricks they used there and trying to port them to gzdoom in a janky way

[clear python]

I can play TF2 in 4K at 200+ fps and cs2 stutters every time i pull out a new gun and barely scratches 60 with everything low and fsr trying to claw back the pixels, but blurrier

[fathom juniper]

and now cs2 is that for me times 10

[fathom juniper]

yeah but keep in mind - there's also a decade between those games

[clear python]

yeah a friend loves hammer

[fathom juniper]

and my experience is the total opposite

like - tf2 is one of the first games i got on my current rig and when i booted it up i saw source 1 dry-heaving it's digital guts out for 90% of the time

[clear python]

i know but like in most cases it doesn't even look /that/ good. it doesn't look good enough to be 20 times less performant

[fathom juniper]

i guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one

[clear python]

i'm disappointed because ime source games scaled incredibly well in resolutions

well we can agree on warzone (does it even exist still) to be the least performant and ugliest thing the world has ever seen

[fathom juniper]

oh dude

have you seen the seth rogan finishers?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr6VzqAs-KE

this...
this is cod

[clear python]

oh it still exists

that's terrible

[fathom juniper]

how did we get here from...
this?

[clear python]

this pile of garbage spent up to half an hour on startup compiling shaders on my machine. i think i was playing it in 720p

[fathom juniper]

it also takes like 150 gigs or something

[clear python]

oh yeah

[fathom juniper]

man - this makes me wanna play some old cod again

like 2 or 4 or 5

also - shoutouts to cod1 for being the only one featuring a level in poland

it sucked ass, but it was something

anyways who else is hyped for mission impossible 8?

cool, cool

[clear python]

suck it up!! nobody cares about your old movies, grandpa!

[fathom juniper]

what do you mean "old" it just came out like two days ago

[clear python]

the 8th of a series........

old series.....

[fathom juniper]

actually
it started in the sixties

[clear python]

eXactly

old man

[fathom juniper]

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

but yeah - the movie series is great
it's one of those really, really rare series that get better as the time goes on

with MI6 being...
well - some call it the best action movie since T2 which - i wouldn't go that far
but it's most certainly the best action movie since fury road

[clear python]

i dread the OFB bosses

[fathom juniper]

they're not bad

[clear python]

starting eiger up rn

[fathom juniper]

if you're going for Sranks then the first boss barely even registers

it's pretty much the same as in normal campaign

[clear python]

im not going for sranks in my entire life

[fathom juniper]

THE LAST BOS, however is just...

[clear python]

nah i'm insane, i'm pumped, i'm soo good

[fathom juniper]

get ready to do an entire bossfight while listening to that low-health heartbeat sound

[fathom juniper]

sranks are super easy on most ofb levels

just aim for one, maybe two challenges
and that alone will guarantee an S-rank

[clear python]

maybe, i'm currently focussed on not dying

[fathom juniper]

that's important too

also - eiger has that one janky-ass jump that just makes me go

that map is never fun to s-rank

the helipad is fun
the VIP lounge is fun
the tower jump can go take a hike

okay @clear python

i am so sorry

it will happen again

[rustic falcon]

jk jk i havent played 2006 for all i know it could be the best game ever i watched some of it and it seemed cool

[fathom juniper]

yeah

[rustic falcon]

prey 2017 is something special though

[ocean iris]

i want Heretic 2 on GOG

[fathom juniper]

it's a "classic" first person shooter that tries it's hardest to make every single bit of it not seem "classic"

and not in the hitscanny, ADS-y, regenerate-y health kind of way

[ocean iris]

honestly

[fathom juniper]

but in the "look at all the weird stuff we can do with the formula" kind of way

[ocean iris]

doom fatigue started to set in since dark ages released
ID WHERE THE HELL ARE QUAKE AND HEXEN

[fathom juniper]

does that make sense?
i hope it does

without spoiling too much

hexen isn't Id's

but microsoft has the licence so

[ocean iris]

oops

raven software

yep

wait a second

hexen and heretic were NEVER made by id? only published

[fathom juniper]

yup

i mean - romero worked harder on those than he did on...
most id games

when he wasn't busy getting drunk, deathmaching and 💩 posting

[ocean iris]

dude

i got fond memories of heretic and hexen

[fathom juniper]

i never finished them

i always get bored halfway through

like - i appreciate all the cool stuff those games did
and how they improved the doom engine, but

eh

[ocean iris]

i used to find the shareware versions of doom, heretic and hexen on those web browser game sites and played the hell out of them at computer class when i was little

[fathom juniper]

if i want gothic stuff i go to doom64

[rustic falcon]

some really cool games there dont have that many votes

[ocean iris]

i know why people vote for elden ring there

[rustic falcon]

well, cool as in ive only heard good things but i havent played because theyre on ancient consoles

[ocean iris]

cuz its easier to pirate
since gog is drm free

[rustic falcon]

why not demons souls

welll yeah such is the case of drm free games but why not actually bring an inaccessible game to pc

[ocean iris]

i friggin wish but there isnt a pc port in the first place

the best you can do is RPCS3

it runs like a dream

[rustic falcon]

i dont think BoF did either

it matters not ill vote

[ocean iris]

breath of fire or wdym

[rustic falcon]

yes

[ocean iris]

boy do i have news for you

https://www.gog.com/en/game/breath_of_fire_iv

[rustic falcon]

thats exactly what i meant, it did not have a pc port before this as far as i know

[ocean iris]

woah

it did in 2003

according to wikipedia

but it was probably a physical release

[rustic falcon]

ahh i see

[ocean iris]

to be fair it's a great thing

the og RE games are also getting official ports

RE1, 2 and 3

i think all of those had PC ports but they were physical or japan exclusive

i hope they include Mercenaries for RE3

[rustic falcon]

bloodborne not out of the question? 🤲

[ocean iris]

if there was never a PC port then it will never happen

[rustic falcon]

one must hope

[fathom juniper]

lol
lmao even

[rustic falcon]

sgf soon this time for sure

[ocean iris]

soooo no official PC ports for Gravity Rush 1 and 2, Astral Chain, Bayonetta 2, Bayonetta 3, Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, etc.

(but you can emulate them for free 😉 )

[rustic falcon]

gravity rush i would do anything

[ocean iris]

i always wanted to play it

[fathom juniper]

you guys wanna see a cool thing i just made in doom?

[woven breach]

is it Bimatron 9000?

[fathom juniper]

no
i'm copying CS2... again

i was watching the yoga ball gamer talking about cs2 and there was this clip of nuke where someone shot out a window and you could see light slowly spilling into the next room
and all the flying glass shards wre casting shadows on the ground

and i had this eureka moment and came up with an idea of doing that using a single actor and no dynamic lighting at all

man i gotta get into doom modding

[fathom juniper]

oh totally

the more the merrier

[ocean iris]

i played brutal doom it was great

i played a test map that showed everything it had

[fathom juniper]

that's the first doom mod i played too

[ocean iris]

it had VEHICLES

and MECHS

what are some doom wads that utilises those?

[fathom juniper]

i loved it back then, got bored quickly though
and i have a personal kind of beef with the author

who - thankfully - chilled tf out in recent years

[ocean iris]

I want like, big battles with vehicles and other allies

[fathom juniper]

a lot
hell - even reelism 2 has a tank mode

play reelism 2 dude

[ocean iris]

give me a quick rundown on that

[fathom juniper]

basically - it's a wave-based shooter
5 waves and a boss
and every wave you roll 3 modifiers that dictate what enemies will spawn, what wepons will spawn and what sort of general twist this wave is gonna have

and that's the general gameplay, but
not only there's content and mechanics here to last you two full games

each and every single one is designed for fun
it's all made to make you laugh

and i don't mean gentle hehe giggle
i mean wheezing, knee slapping, red face, "oh my god i can't breathe" levels of laughing

it was my personal goty 2023
or whenever this thing came out

get it at https://reelism.dog/
(yes - that is a real URL)

[ocean iris]

thank you
any MP?

[fathom juniper]

in this one?
nope

i mean - you can bullcrap any mod to be multiplayer
but they're gonna break easily

[ocean iris]

Ah damn

would have been fun coop

[fathom juniper]

yeah

[ocean iris]

oh yeah any cool coop wads?

[fathom juniper]

hideous destructor

it's the most hardcore mil-sim i've ever played

yes - a full on mil-sim
in doom

with mechanics so deep you have to watch your freakin heartbeat

||Did you call your mother last week? I was visiting mine last weekend, which is why there wasn't a post. This week I am using a search program to find an interesting puzzle. Every puzzle it has pointed at has been interesting to me, and could be a weekly choice. Thank you to Heisenberg - Trix for making the search program. In the Unknown Variable server, she has made several special minesweeper puzzles with various extra rule sets. Last puzzle's results: Acegikmo 31, A Problem Squared 27, Wirtual 22, Shady Games 18, PirateSoftware 18, El Goonish Shive 17, Idle Loops 10, SUMDiscord 10, 6, Unknown Variable 4, Supergiant 4, Captain Disillusion 4, and six servers with 3.||

Does expedition 33 really have a bad story or is my bilibili algorithm just cooked for some reason

[rustic falcon]

i thought the premise was silly whe it was just aonnounced and i definitely have not seen the full story but from the little i saw it definitely interested me

definitely changed my mind on the "silly" aspect now theyve made it very interesting from the beginning

the gameplay also looks very fun, mostly not my speed but i put it back on my wishlist just because i think its awesome

Replaying pentiment. accidentally. it’s still Very Good

I recommend it greatly

[lost igloo]

with so many re-releases you'd think maybe MGSV might do a 'finished version' at some point, its been 10 years already

[fathom juniper]

mgs5 isn't lacking in content
it's lacking in context

which is... so ironic considering 2's message

anyways - they can't just slap a bunch of new copy-pasted missions in there - the game has plenty of that already
they need to finish the script and VO and such

and they can't really do that without kojimbro

ah makes sense cause i literally never heard of it before

like, nowhere
not on social media, not on steam, nowhere
i found out because I was browsing the DLC list and saw the SDK and that implied it had mod support

i would try it, but
you know

gzdoom takes all my free modding time

[ocean iris]

and the fact that mod support is literally tucked away in the betas page of properties of the game
