What had happened in that Olympics?
there was the green pool i think
also homeless people/elderly getting displaced but that happens in other olympics as well
I'm playing Ender Lilies, it's a great game, but I need to take a break
not because of the difficulty or anything
but because the soundtrack makes me sad
;-;
That's the marks of good music
The game is phenomenal
it's just so happen to be emotionally draining
and I am an emotional person

Could you guys recommend any games that has a moving plot?
Life is strange
hades
Gris, what remains of edith finch, gone home, firewatch, and basically every other walking sim
Oh I have it
What genre are you after?
Not moving but rather "engrossing," Witcher 3.
Action I think
yeah the Witcher 3, I guess, or Transistor?
Hellblade: Senua
ECHO
Nier Replicant
YS VIII
Death Stranding (For a definition of action)
FFXV
Some that spring to mind
Having just finished an NG playthrough of Witcher 3, I’m gonna recommend that game as well
It’s really good
Especially when all that you’re looking for is a good plot, Witcher 3 should be ok
You need to put the pieces together yourself, but The Outer Wilds is very moving
:0 how far are you??
racing games have a lot of moving /j
and the story just 😩
superhot
the plot only moves forward when you move
Oh god, That Franchise is the Apex of pretentiousness
Oh god, That Post is the Apex of missing the joke
There's way more pretentious titles out there than Superhot
Like Braid, or The Witness
saying that superhot is "the Apex of pretentiousness" in the same convo that mentioned LIS is just...

a hilarious take, ngl
The original ending of Superhot: Mind Control Delete required you to wait eight real-time hours on a countdown screen before you were allowed to play the game again. Devs said it was because they wanted you to "reflect on the story".
Sounds kinda pretentious ngl
They also wanted you to go on the internet and go tell people how Superhot was the most innovative shooter of the generation
so wait
when one game witha cool style and really unique gameplay does this kind of thing it's "pretentious"
but when undertale did the same thing few years ago then it was a 10/10 goty give it to the pope game?

please
was its story even good :/ i honestly forget what it was outside of simulation stuff
and besides
in both cases you can wipe your saves and do it all over again
and BESIDES besides...
they already patched it out so new players won't even see it
I dont think anyone cared about the story
Its pretty forgettable
not really?
its story was style over substance, just a bunch of nonsensical excuses for you to play new levels
gameplay comes first there
ahh ok
But to be honest the most pretentious game I've played was YIIK
the Apex of pretentiousness, everyone 
oh god yiik
ive only heard stories of how bad yiik is
to a point that when i played va11-halla and got to the yiik reference i just laughed
They managed to hire Toby Fox to make them a song which he promptly deleted from his resume
so i guess we have a new apex of pretentiousness on the block
man - those pretentious games sure come in swarms
man - doom 64 is so pretentious 
at the end it turns out that doom guy decided to stay in hell FOREVER
screw that 8 hours - it's nothing compared to FOREVER
that wasnt the point that was being made :/
wtf is that i just wanna play my shooty bang bang game again 
oh i know
doesn't change the fact that the point that was made was simply wrong
welp
this is what i get for expecting anything better from a nintendo fan club 
wait
superhot had a story? i thought it was just slow mo shoot red crystal men
yeah well 
After losing her memories, the girl could only remember one name—"Miss Sakura".She set out to find Miss Sakura, aided by a talking traffic light, and by the power to read the memories of the things she touched."Unreal Life" is the story of her journey.Compare memories of the past with the present, solve mysteries, and follow the girl and the tra...

+1 didn't reccomend it cause they looked for action
I also reccomend as moving games OMORI and Lost Ember
those are really good
I'd suggest Pyre but I feel like that's a bit obvious in here
Arcade Spirits and VA-11 Hall-A are both very touching if you enjoy visual novels/dating sims
I always hear people talk about that moon one as an emotional train wreck
To The Moon
love To the Moon
I like Tetris, good story, good game play
10/10
Seriously though, Outer Wilds can't be higher on my list of recommendations
that tetris plot twist hits like a truck. or a falling block
And it's getting DLC soon
I have come here to fill in the weekly quota. I played a bit of "Do Not Feed The Monkeys" and I can say it's story driven rogue-like.
Thank you for listening
nah
too pretentious
Next bit
hey can you for real knock this kind of thing off, i shouldn't need to tell you how rude and off putting it is
you can have your opinions without behaving in such a mean spirited manner towards others whose views conflict with yours
Braid also suggested to wait several hours to get a secret item, though
so.. i guess, playing with time and deliberate waiting are necessary features of pretentiousness
so, shall we consider the Apex of Pretentiousness..
the Longing?
The thing is that is just a useless wait to allow the player to even play
It's not optional
And to be honest I'm not the first person to call Superhot Pretentious, I dunno why I struck a nerve on some people for calling it that
idk
its story is not that deep, however, it was out when "we live in simulation" thing was not that common as now
it's just a piece of.. art, i guess
understand it like you want
while, say, Braid has a more classic approach
Because Jesus Christ I didn't expect so much hostility
Sorry, a bit late. Well just recently I took down Ulv.
ooo nice ulv was one of the really fun bosses for me :3 i assume you got ending A then??
since iirc ulv is after hoenir
ahh yea theres a lot of stuff you get to find after you beat the boss right after ulv
so id say go a bit further then just explore since youll have most all things to clear obstacles
did you get the quote saying ||"truth is in the abyss, tragedy never ceasing"||
since if you got that then you got ending A
ahh ok
well you should have pretty easy access to ending A then since its the easiest to get to and i got it before i made it to ulv
but it doesnt lock you out or anything
I'm not planning to 100% the game, but I'm planning to get true ending.
also yea
when umbral knight said that he'd like to get us far away from that place, I reckon there's a "bad" ending
cause afaik no one in this game gets to live

fun read if anyone's bored https://legendsoflocalization.com/bad-game-translation-hall-of-fame/
I sucsess!!!!
Thx for your recommendations, I may consider playing some of them later.
I rmb the ending of death stranding is moving too
Modern controllers are such a joke man.. Im done buying official branded nintendo and sony controllers. I wouldn't gripe so much if they didn't charge over $60 for em.. It's a scam. The ps2 had the same damn analog design as ps4 essentially, yet I get drift all the time.
have an old xbox360 controller. Been working for years and years. No drift
my third party 360 controller "broke" recently in that the A button sticks
but aside from that its fantastic lmao
I need new joycons cause they are BAD
Totally agree. I am somewhat handy inclined so Im going to try and take it apart and fix, but the ps4 has a lot of soldering
ps4 controller*
yea man my x360 controller has been around for years at this point
no issues at all. I use my dpad more than the analog stick as I play a lot of fighters, and I still get drift.
I would skip joy cons all together
I've had my 360 controller about 2? years
I bought this for my switch and it's been flawless
has nfc function, vibrates
can turn on
oh I have a fantastic controller for my switch
wwirelessly
I just play handheld cause medical stuff
not really
Im sorry to hear that man, sounds painful
I mean I've had my switch about 3 years I think and my joycons only messed up about a month ago
granted since they started drifting they have just gotten much worse
but luckily if i just tap an input it stops drifting (for now)
the theory is dust gets in there and messes with the sensor, which would make sense, but it's entirely a huge process to clean the sensor.
call me old fashioned
but just give us a damn N64 Joy con LOL
I've heard that getting those little joycon ?covers? makes them drift less
well that would make sense but thats a preemptive move which seems smart if you have a new controller
thumb grip caps
Ohhhh
yea i've seen those
ribbed fer yer pleasure
"they dont make em like they used to" I wish that weren't true.
I've heard they help stop drift but I have no proof of that lol
my buddy, he just uses an adapter and plays with an xbox controller on switch LOL
I mean my favorite controller ever was the snes pro for wii
dude you could buy a trashed snes controller right now on ebay
and it would be reliable
even the dpad lol
oh yeah
This boy
best controller I've ever had tbh
what the hecky
after clicking that link my entire amazon page is now in spanish lmao
high price
but
kek
im just so biased on that type of dpad
only cuz i play a lot of fighters
but i trust it's a good controller
looks easy to clean too
I liked it cause the analog is notched
I never realised how much I liked the notched analog until I didn't have it anymore lol
For sure, it's nice
not a fighting game thing these days but for everything else 👌
i have a square gate on my fight stick
and then there's me with "totally legit" switch pro controller
I have the "official licensed" ninty pro controller
which means its 20 bucks bad quality
but it has a pikachu on it
never again.
haha you said a naughty I saw the robot yell at you
there are worse insults I agree
well I said it about myself xD
basically I was complaining earlier about official controllers Fluffy.
Might wanna delete that tho since it could be "evading word filter"
yea I get it lol
kinda thing
which is why I don't test the water lol
God tell me about.. Lol
This is the pikachu controller I was talking about
its so heavy compared to like every controller I've ever had
From nintendo at least that design is way less likely to drift
Not from nintendo
still.. I kind of feel like the 3rd party market is kicking butt there
the one I have is super good
oh thats just gamestop lmao
^ must be a rare controller bs thing
Lol
Those dorks are only afloat cuz of their stock scandal
everyone knows you hate to go there. xD
"C..can I trade this brand new game i---" "4 DOLLARS"
people just type anything huh
Literally the last time I was in gamestop was when I traded in all my old stuff and put it towards my switch
oh nah
and the mustache man behind the counter
with his cigar
He laughs as he takes your games and consoles
xD
I didn't trade in any games cause e-games
"$5"
it was 2 vitas a wii u and my 3ds
Duuuude
duuuude
oh I loved my vita
LOL Im so jealous, 2 vitas.
well 1 broke
and the other was a gift from a friend who gave it to me specifically to trade in towards switch
can we talk about hacking on here?
I assume they aren't affialted with any console
strictly non supergiant related of course
3ds is a great lil s ystem, and so is the vita
Man you should have kept the one that was working
and the broken one!! They haven't lowered in price at all (obviously )
I've learned never to get rid of consoles now a days
an old friend offered me like 50 for the broken one but didn't tell me they were looking for one
until after I got rid of it lmaoooo
your broken vita would get you $150 easy lol
eh well
Its an amazing little emulator
that's understandable
(plus I have a nice laptop)
See I gravitate to those cuz i missed out on a lot of those consoles growing up
oh same
And yea you can e m u
we were very poor lol
yea...
so I got the 3ds for castlevania.. xD
I want dem pixelated textures
I had a snes until i was about 17-18
I mean I'm 30 now so I can get whatever I want (within reason)
Man I went and picked up the pikachu controller
and I am amazed at how heavy it is
like yeah it has batteries in it but that shouldn't make it heavier than every thing I own
Nah it doesn't
and I prefer light controllers tbh
Hm, every gamer is different
I don't care about the weight so much if its not a fighter
i care about the dpad A LOT
I mean I mostly care about button placement
same
I play a LOT of 2D rouge li(ght)kes
I have 79 hours in skul
I feel like Skul is a good successor to Dead Cells
I've been playing Getsu and Record of Lodoss
I have it
which has a lot of promise to be good
haven't played it yet
but isn't currently great
I love love LOVE metroidvanias
Same
and of course Hades.
I feel like Hades might be a new Metroidvania 2.0
(I know it doesn't make sense)
disagree
I know I know
lol
but the genre the way Supergiant did hades
It really is a breath of fresh air in terms of what's possible with rougelikes
Take a game like Hades, and just throw more exploration in there
Mind if I message you about some other games
Not at all man.
Ziggurat 2
Pepsiman
its kind of like a narrative metroid vania
where every run unlocks new ways to go
theres certainly no other roguelike with this fleshed out of a narrative
let alone this well incorperated into the gameplay loop
every single run is adorned with new stuff both big and small, both in the actual run itself through npcs and boons and encounters and narration points
and back at the house through new options and conversations and nectar
That suspiciously sounds like Dead Cells power systems. DC is also self-classified as Roguevania also.
The thing is 90% of roguelites have a non descript protagonist as the protagonist is not the protagonist. But the player
The game is about you getting better and better
Funnily I actually played a game that was 'Dead Cells' but it's an action game instead of a Roguelite. Like a metroidvania but you only go right dunno if I explain myself
'Foregone' was called
That game was very blalantly inspired by dead Cells
cells is somewhat a mertiodvania the first few times you play and then its just a rougelike with split paths
are zelda games rpgs
are zelda games link games?
Tbh, in order, I think yes, no, and yes
Honestly RPG is such a nothing-term nowadays and it's kind of a shame
are zelda games videogames?
Saw it
Shocking, seriously
Didn’t even known it happened
G*mers, truly the most marginalized community on the Internet.
I took apart my xbox controller and it has little metal weights inside the little handle part? but its also wired to the electronic part of it
The weight is used for vibration I bet.
also the reason my A button sticks
is cause the little button press plastic piece is almost torn off the rest of them
Sounds like wear and tear, could use a replacement fix
Or… it’s a defect and you should mount a lawsuit 
well considering its a 3rd party controller and I've had it at least 2 years
I'm assuming wear and tear lol
I just tossed it cause the dpad also stopped working recently
and at that point I might as well just get a new one I just wanted to see if cleaning out the dust and gunk would fix it
hm does this look like a good controller to you guys
I'm confused on why it would need triple A batteries if its a wired controller
also where the batteries would go?
I recommend anything from 8Bitdo
I've had that
The shoulder button are so hard
If you want to play shooters with it, for whatever reason, don't
I don't play shooters lmao
Or games like nier where you will press the ever living hell out of the button
There aren't many games I play that typically need back shoulder
theres a game im thinking about getting but i dont know the name of it, all i know is that it looks like an indie game, its an arena pvp fps, and you shoot lasers at eachother while moving around really fast
does that ring any bells?

EA Originals is the only good thing about the company
Pato Box is good
all you really do is left/right jab and dodge, well so far
I was thinking it was timing based
gonna play i am bread for the first time like 7 years after it was relevant
the title screen says its still in early access 
yeah this isnt very fun
spending 15 minutes trying to get into a toaster
with awful controls
the worst feeling is when you're fighting a tough boss so you put on your most dramatic music to power you though and you still lose
Iceborne's fatty
eh, pretty close to mine, i was on monhun
for me the worst feeling is, fighting a new boss for the first time and died while their health is just 2 attacks away for them to bite the dust
then proceed to die a bunch of times for unknown reason
yeah i feel that
though i genuinely can't remember the last game i played where bosses have health bars
...miitopia
Bloodborne
yeah pretty close
i've just finished playing deaths door today
it's a pretty good game
i have some problems with it but overall it's good and worth a try
New D3 season, new grind
Just got my Wizard to her desired build, and now, the grind to max Greater Rift level
Man, I’ve been doing this last season too, and now I’m repeating it for this season lmao
the reviews for neo the world ends with you seem pretty good, cant wait for it to release on pc
Yeah. Now it's the quest on avoiding spoilers until it happens
i never had a ds but i might have to try emulating the world ends with you
Regarding the ending of that game
Did you know?...
That James actually killed John before Mira could get to him
idk if that's an actual spoiler or just pretending
glad i don't care about the game
but still
it's a joke, there aren't characters with those names
Yeah in Shibuya those names are kinda uncommon lol
unless those are like...online names?!
NEW: Nearly 1,000 current/former Activision Blizzard employees have signed an open letter calling the company’s response to the discrimination lawsuit “abhorrent and insulting."
"We will not be silenced, we will not stand aside, and we will not give up" https://t.co/cIWYSinPhw
Emulating it might be hard, since it’s a DS game that is heavily touch-based
Swipes and all that
I would recommend just getting the mobile port instead
It’s suits the mobile format perfectly

Is it worth playing nier replicant before finishing endings b-e in automata?
If im already feeling automata is on the slow side
probably
I dunno about the pace, but replicant requires you to replay the second half of the game multiple times to see all the endings. I believe it’s worth it though
Yeah That's why you gotta play all sidequests of the first part before the Timeskip
It can be a little slow if you get dragged into sidequests but not a lot of them are mandatory and just the main story is pretty short - if you do the main story alone you can do it in under 15 hours
Speaking of nier replicant
How does it fare on PC?
I've been thinking to get it on PC but automata didn't do very well so I'm hestitant. I can get it for PS4, but currently I don't have any place to hook my PS4 to.
I haven't noticed problems with it but I've only played about 4 hours
(also supposedly Automata's patch fixed it immensely)
just played my first new pc game in years 😳

BREAKING: Activision Blizzard employees will strike tomorrow outside Blizzard's campus to protest the company's responses to the discrimination lawsuit and to demand more equitable treatment for staff https://t.co/T1d39qpsmq

I remember when they protested blizzards stance on china
but this involves a lawsuit and it's an industry wide issue in the country so hopefully this time bears a bigger impact
Hopefully 🤞
It won't
Give the u.s government a choice between money and not being awful and they choose money
... pretty sure blizzard is American
yeah this is a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard filed by the State of California
or, at least, that's what I've heard
its from the state, yes
everyone needs to keep pressure on actiblizz for being held accountable or nothing will ever happen
being complacent bc oh well money will win is. not good! just bc it tends to happen, we can acknowledge that, yes. but. its not good. dont be complacent.
so what can I do for example to put pressure on actiblizz, because I dont know
writing them a letter of complaint?
stop
buying
their
crap
tell other people to stop buying their crap
they only care about their bottom line - so do your best to go after that
I never did in the first place but I dont believe a boycott will work out realistically
if their sales drop down even just a bit
just a tiny bit - enough for Bobby K. to miss his next fat 20 mil. sales bonus
maybe that will send the message
hm okay
correction
it wasn't a 20 mil $ bonus
bobby kotick got around 111 milion pounds this year
approved by actiblizz shareholders
also - friendly reminder
Bobby Kotick appears in Epstein's "black book"
just...
just if you're looking for a reason to hate him just a little bit more - there it is
i... remember a time when the worst things to happen for bideo gaems were stuff like...
capcom screwing up it's "capcom five" exclusives lineup
or the hot coffee mod for gta san andreas
or ion storm tripping over it's own marketing for daikatana
or idsoftware releasing a bunch of "good enough" games
or PCs getting a handfull of crappy console ports
i remember a time when "gamers" were considered to be just a bunch of basement dwelling nerds playing with their expensive toys
made for children
ooooohhh just you wait - games are getting bigger and bigger, once we hit the mainstream it's all gonna get better!
well... here we are now
all that stuff seems... petty and quaint when compared to what's going on today
god... i want to go back so bad
I think it's wishful thinking to assume companies weren't underpaying women back then either
if anything it used to be worse
oh i'm not saying that "oh the good old days" were perfect
they weren't
but video games - as an industry - were subjected to a bigger level of scrutiny
where a little bit of blood in mortal kombat was enough to spark an outrage that ended in senate hearings
so if stuff that's going on today were to happen back then
we wouldn't stop hearing about it for years
they probably wouldn't get away with it
hm alright
back then games were in a gray zone of law, somewhere between sports and gambling, and also as something only for kids and/or family, so not everyone could just go ahead and make an entertainment empire
without a network of arcades
now it's just a regular type of business, with all the advantages and disadvantages of any other
games are not made by gamers or geeks anymore, it's made by marketing specialists now
and something tells me, that they will not learn a lesson even after considerable losses
or they will learn to hide the stuff even harder, so nobody will ever know
i think, the only solution here, if the guilt of the responsible people will be proved by court, the whole administration of actiblizz has to be changed
they did enough damage to company already

@twin yarrow
i couldn't have said it better myself
it's just...
i've had very little hope for this industry in the past (god knows i've been saying it here almost every time i come here)
but now?
i have no hope for it
at all
even if
IF that court case brings some justice onto those fancy suit higher ups at acti-blizz...
they're still gonna get replaced by someone equally as bad
or worse
that's what we've been told about our president for almost 10 years
but still
where are you from, if i may ask?
russia
some changes has to be done from time to time
bc each type of power corrupts people
you know
i've been playing games all my life
and i've been following this industry for almost 20 years now
and... i'm sorry - but i can recall only one once positive change in all this time
the rise of steam and xbla and other stuff like that
that allowed indies to get more popular and allowed small studios and single devs to get more recognition and an easier way to make money
even though it's still from perfect
well, i completely understand that.. i'm not a big fan of changes, tbh
i meant, the change of administration is a necessary thing.. from time to time
bc at some point they stop caring about company/country and start caring about themselves
unfortunately, people are not perfect
oh don't get me wrong - i think this industry is in a dire need of some major changes
in terms of employment, salaries, work hours and general ethics, managment and so on
but after all this time...
after seeing all this crap going down in recent years...
i cannot for the life of me believe that any of the upcoming changes would be positive
i just lost all hope at this point
there will be some major changes in the future
god almighty, have mercy on us
technological limit is imminent, someday it will not be possible to make new graphic cards and processors and stuff
without some major scientific leaps
and the gaming price now gets higher and higher
not only in terms of hardware and consoles, but games themselves
something tells me, that the market will eventually split
god i hope so
and the distinction between AAA-high budget-constant support-online gaming-microtransaction-realism from each hole games
and small cute-pixels-cozy games will be even bigger
so big that the audiences will have almost no overlaps
well, there will also be mobile gaming, but that's our burden to bear
but that's just my "competent opinion" from the couch
it just... boggles my goddamn mind that we somehow live in an age where acti blizz isn't just a corrupt and morally bankrupt company led by the most over-paid CEO in recent memory
but they also have a confirmed bodycount to their name, and...
nothing - it feels like there's barely any buzz around it
the only sources that i see talking about it are the same places that have been talking about their predatory monetization tactics and unetchical work conditions for years
other than that - nothing 

dam, no preview, now i have to watch it to know what it is about
Developers from The Last of Us, Call of Duty, God of War, and more have come together to form That's No Moon, a new studio working on an action-adventure game - backed with a $100 million investment. https://t.co/H4hqPBluHc
345
2764
so a studio made out of sony and actiblizz refugees
best of luck for all of them
and i hope this company won't make the same mistakes their previous employer did
in current climate - it's best to distance yourself from them as much as you can
i would say the concern should be more "i hope none of the people that moved have the same mindset as the kind of people under fire right now or nothing is going to change and the cycle of abuse will simply continue"
if any of these sort of people are there.... "same mistakes" is inevitable
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
The things blizzard does aren't mistakes. They're intentional choices. For example, Hong Kong see: the Chinese market and the money in it
Also see: sexism
well sexism doesn't sell
stop acting like big corps are untouchable is the first step toward change.
yall be defeatist, and what even if blizz doesn't get punished from this?
should you (i mean people in general) stop trying?
stop acting like big corps are untouchable is the first step toward change.
easier said than done when the previous big corps literally felt no consequences, that's why i'm saying it's absolutely important actiblz is held accountable and made an example of
and its not like people have stopped bringing awareness to those previous allegations, its that the vast majority of people frankly dont care ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i think we agree
i just hate it when people says oh yeah im not doing anything because their actions don't mean anything
in the same vein, politicians never do what I want so I don't vote
you guys at least can vote for somebody and they will be elected
we here don't vote so all this farce called elections won't even be legitimate due to underattendance, otherwise it'll be another case of pre-written results and another 6 years of happy future for everyone
and we fail. every time
and here.. i don't even know how to change the situation, when i have stopped buying actiblizz's stuff since 2018
and everybody i know as well
They ARE untouchable. They just bribe people to do nothing
Jesus the current diablo 4 head and the riot mmo head are both involved in this, as well as the current wow head
wait what
how long ago was that?
bribe who? the judges? you know this isn't some class action lawsuit but a state court case right? you got any proof for that or just some defeatist propaganda?
blizz still exists because people continues to play their games, just spread the word, and maybe consider not supporting them for a while until they change their course.
bad press does matter. otherwise companies won't spend so much money in PR, marketing, etc.
also im not saying that this means anything significant, but AVTI stock did slightly decrease over the last week. investors care about press. bad press = fewer investors.
that whole not supporting them thing is easy because I never bought alot of their games anyway
I only got the Crash and Spyro-related games
I can do that one
my evidence being that nothing EVER happens to these companies. At least outside of the EU
even if it didn't happen in the past, it can start now
i don't understand the attitude you are having.
racism still runs rampant nowadays, so what? stop fighting it?
strikes seem like the most useful action
thats why everyone needs to hold their ass to the fire and hold them accountable dude, being complacent because "well nothing happens anyway" is being part of the problem
its a really poor stance to have
why bother doing anything nothing ever happens anyway, who cares!
thats just genuinely an awful way to see things
and it really does a disservice to all the employees at these companies that are trying their best to work towards change and are fighting the system and the guys at the top every step of the way
there's a reason actiblz employees went on strike today, there are reasons they are still there, they are protesting, they are striving for change. you don't support these employees if your attitude towards this is "these companies are untouchable anyway"
goddammit i missed my chance to short the stock
the news broke like last week and the stock didnt go down until news of the company's poor performance today broke
Tbf, poor working environment usually correlates to poor performance
yah well i just kinda found it funny that the stock didnt drop until today
when the work productivity rumors came out, not when the work place rumors came out
Fair point
Lmao theres a picture of blizzard employee “jesse mccree” posing with cosby’s picture
It finally happened
Someone speedrunned Sekiro while blindfolded
The madlad did it in only 4 hours and half which is less than my time
Yeah, LilAggy is a beast, he's been routing it for quite a while now (It ain't me)
aggy but little
Wasn't LilAggy
hey he named himself after you, thats an honor
Lmao, I wish
you are just being humble
posted further up #video-games message
Thank you, I hadn't noticed
Wait, I think this is where I found the link anyway... Geez my memory is getting worse by the minute. I'd already forgotten this is where I found it by the time I was done reading the article
lmao relatable
This one seems interesting
From the Hack g.u. devs
yeaht that's kinda what i meant there
I bought a game a year+ ago and one of the first things they said was a create a char was going to be the NEXT thing they did, redownloaded it today and thats still not in lmao
they say now its not planned to be in the early access version of the game which kinda sucks tbh
hey is there anybody here good at making PCs?
i could use some help, i'm planning on making a new rig but i don't really know what to get
https://galaxy.pk/ i was told to check this site for the kinds of parts available in my country of Pakistan but i don't really know where to begin or what parts are the best for their value
well, first thing to consider is CPU, then graphic card
stoneshard
motherboard is picked after CPU to match its characteristics
then memory, RAM and hard drives
primarily, set a budget for yourself it will help a whole bunch
yep
power unit is also important, it is picked to meet all the power requirements
everything else is optional
like, frame is supposed to hold everything, so nothing would stay outside
input and output devices can be anything
well, first thing is CPU.. like Aggy said, it's important to know what will be the price range, and what purposes pc will serve
other than that.. usually people prefer AMD hardware, if they want good performance for nice value
especially last generations
well is there anybody who can kind of walk me through this? here's my requirements really..
- Action games like DMC5, DOOM Eternal, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance...
- Emulation for things like PSX, PS2 and PS3...
- 3D Modeling for blender and alike
from what i asked around basically all of these are kind of linked together really
what's your budget?
i'm looking for something with an Intel CPU and an Nvidia GPU
currently i don't have one. basically i'll take what ever's the best i can and work down from that, so lets say... not like 2-3k cause that's stupid maybe under 1000 bucks?
also are you set with going intel, or open with going amd
tbh i'm fine with anything really
its hard for me to know though cause i hear some people say 1 thing or another
i hear emulation's easier with Intel but their way more expensive
I noticed the 3D modelling and that has better performance on the AMD atm, particularly blender
that said outside of PS3 emulation everything like PS2 should run fine on MOST things really
well for blender it doesn't really matter i guess? since natively you can have your GPU + CPU work together on renders
which is what i'm doing now
I'm assuming the budget is in USD?
yes admittedly the site is in PKR but USD to keep things simple
causes basically i was told by my current Computer guy that this site has alot more gaming specialized stuff
and it's more likely what i find will be from a site like this, so i need to get a quote from here and share it with him
for basically a whole new system, CPU, GPU, Motherboard, Case etc etc
oh sorry
some people suggested i use benchmark sites to get a good idea of what i want
big game
https://www.techspot.com/article/1999-doom-eternal-benchmarks/ but there's so many parts its like...
i can't tell what to go with
its really overwhelming
doom eternal uses a whole lot of vram at ultra nightmare setting 4k resolution
one big caviet atm is, gpu prices are completely awful
i know
good good ^_^
but really regardless i need baselines
and well worse case scenario i can always step down from there
but i need a FULL list
however, the market is slowly improving
how can you tell?
crypto market be falling, etherium is moving to proof of stake (I forget exactly when)
also recently there has been a whole bunch of 3060's hitting the 2nd hand market in china
thank god ugh
screw those guys, anyways but yeah either way like i need to know my CPU, GPU, motherboard etc..
those second hand 3060s maybe are what's on this site...
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.59 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
that might explain why there's here in pakistan
I got this for about 2400 usd
jesus
and have had zero issue running anything
JUST for the processor?
oh phew
those are just the important bits
well i'm looking for a PC, tower
yes but you asked for a baseline
oh i see well i meant like in terms of the actual part names and etc
I'm saying this is what I have and works for everything I could ever want to run
cause like i mentioned earlier i need to show the guy the names of the parts and they have to be available on that site
@coral hawk the use case and budget be up here 
thanks
but yeah so that site is key here since people here are kinda stubborn like that, i'm guessing they probably have to order it themselves from their supplier as well
@broken smelt have you looked at the site yet?
i'll be budgeting this in USD but the prices will most likely be given in PKR from the site as reference
yeah, putting together a rough parts list atm
thanks
its weird cause like... AMD or Intel CPUs for example i get conflicting info on
like the guy was telling me not to get AMD cause they burn out but i've heard people say otherwise
or maybe they were talking about GPUs i'm not sure
i know that PS3 emulation Intel is preferred but that's still in it's infancy, still making strides at least
but more often than not i guess i'll probably be playing games and doing 3d modeling
intel 10th gen is decent in gaming if you can find them at a discount
AMD rn is straight up annihilating intel in a good portion of workstation applications, like blender
maybe i'll try to reason with the guy then
because even on this site there's alot of AMDs being sold
but really this should be a Gaming Rig and Workstation rig really if that's possible
cause having a good GPU in blender i've noticed will really matter
but also CPUs alot of programs prefer intel? but is it usually a problem?
yeah, both matter a fair bit in blender
since you're using blender, it tends to favour amd performance wise (at least that's what benchmarks show anyways)
does the motherboard need on board wifi at all?
good to know ^_^
since i can get those adapters here cheaply enough
plus i was smart enough to set up hard lines from my router to my room and other places if need be
worse case scenario i genuinely have a good free 10ft of Ethernet cable to run stuff from lol
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sHxCTJ @clear hull
here's a rough list, from what I can see everything is availible on the website you linked 
if need be, I'd change the Ryzen 5900x to a Ryzen 5800x to cut down a bit on price
thanks alot @broken smelt , i hope things do get better like you said at least
i doubt i'll be able to get this all in 1 go right now but at least i can work towards it as things improve... i hope. x_X
actually hold up @broken smelt there's a compatibility warning on this
"Warning!Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
Note:Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case has a front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, but the Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard does not have sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Gen 1 headers. The case USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port will not be usable.
Note:Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders.
(Flag issues/incompatibilities as incorrect.)"
some b550 motherboards might not have the latest BIOS installed
asking the vendor to update the BIOS is a good idea if you can
The front panal usb-c imo isn't really required, but is a nice to have
yeah you can, the particular mobo in the list has a BIOS flashback button
oh ok
right well i guess i'll share it and see, thanks. but man 2000 bucks..
its almost 3k on pc part builder damn
yeah, it's quite a bit, but honestly will last many many years
i hope so, tbh i have this very bad feeling though i might not be able to afford this

yeah..
i mean i did say my budget was 500-1000 earlier and i'd drop down
so lets see maybe if i share this with my guy he might give some alternatives
🤞
while you were combing the site aggy did you see anything lower tier that might be worth looking into?
5800x for the cpu, 3070 for gpu
right i'll keep those on me too
👍
AMD Rayzen and Nvidia right?
yeah
right intel's naming system is different stupid question
I should have specified
no worries 

bring back Rhythm Heaven
Rhythm heaven is the best video game ever
yep looks pretty cool
ign chat is cancer tho
solar ash looks great, kinda has shadow of colossus vibes on boss fights
I turn chat off on presentations
🤢 rip its an epic exclusive

This is incredible
you would think that the first thing blizz should do when they find themselves in a hole is to stop digging, but they just managed to dig deeper
well the guys at the top calling the shots dont see this as digging a hole
well in some sense this IS them solving the problem
the problem for them is that people are unhappy and trying to change things
they're not interested in rooting out abusers, there's nothing profitable about that
like i said, they will try even harder to make sure nobody will ever hear anything, lesson has been learned
it's pointless
the whole direction needs to go, or nothing will be changed

not vidya but close enough
me like

that TWEWY art style is so good
I tried the new fix for nintendo switch's KANSEI DRIFTO, for now it's fixed
Will monitor it for another 3 months or so
noice, hopefully it lasts till december when the deck starts emulating it better than the og hardware can run it lol. jkjkjk but seriously its a joke, no wars started pls
The Steam Deck looks like it will also drift tbf lol
Kek
Yea. Though they can use a proper stick rather than tiny sticks like switch's
I got no plans on getting it, so if any of y'all get it, I wanna know the experience 
oh boi...
this just keeps going and going...

Neon White looks super fun, but just looking at the gameplay showcase, it looks like a lot of platforming
I remembered trying out the Ghostrunner demo and was having a real hard time just minutes into the game
But I really like how fast-paced it was though
Nowadays, I really do like fast-paced gameplays
i think the only big problem i have with neon white is that there are no guns
you only shoot out of cards(?) somehow
From the looks of it, cards only acts as a UI, right? So, we can “use” cards to shoot, or discard to use it’s special effect
yah but if i see a card with a shotgun in my hand, i expect to see a shotgun
not some bullets shooting out of nowhere
everything else looks cool af tho
This looks really interesting, I mean, you get to play as a cat! ❤️

At last, we got a meaty new trailer for Stray, the upcoming PlayStation and PC game about a lost cat wandering a city of strange, human-like machines, including some very cute cat interactions, but the most important bit is that Stray finally has a release window of early 2022.
#IGN #Stray
oh my goodness
anyone that watched (and have not watched) Annapurna Showcase a few hours back should try out Storyteller
The demo is on steam and It's a great puzzle game
Yeah, it’s just a design decision. They could’ve gone with anything else or even a real gun model and I don’t think it wouldn’t really change how the game works or feels
That game is letter away from being an aussie sim
Has anyone here played enter the gungeon
should i buy dead cells?
I remember my cousin was obsessed with Gungeon
Thinking of buying gungeon
I swore that game was cancelled years ago, I'm glad still lives
i mean not really
only 3 actual games there they just made special limited edition boxes
if we see persona 5 royal golden or somethin then we'll be in trouble
years? i think i saw that thing last year during PS5 presentation
clearly remember that RIP HUMANS graffiti

activision has a hostile work environment, and other stories tonight on surprises-no-one news :/
$hit like these happens everywhere tbh, it’s not only ActiBlizz or the gaming industry, what surprises me is how there was no consequences of his action there
maybe
HOPEFULLY
all of this crap coming out now
will change some things in the future
Here in my place, dude would go straight to serving jail time
or AT LEAST raise awareness
The bad thing (or reaction, I guess) about this is how people seem to think this is a gaming culture problem, when it’s not
You see people relating this to how bad W3R was
I think some people still don’t get the point and still think “EA bad, monetization bad” kind of stuffs
it's not a gaming problem
it's a corporate problem
You know, the usual gaming today problems
Exactly
@polar dragon Dead cells is good, but I got bored of it
100 hours in working on 5bc
I can perfect clear biomes, maybe take up to 3 hits
consitently
but bosses just seem to melt me
especially on tactics
you guys need to try curse of the dead gods
After 40 hours of really trying to get into the game, I think Dead Cells just isn't for me.
My cycle goes like this: 30-40 no hit kill spree -> lose the spree to an off-screen projectile or burrowing enemy -> lose out on unlocks and equipment -> give up.
I don't outright die and I understand that the bonus equipment probably isn't needed to win. But man the incentive in this game is just not fun, not for me.
It takes the "just don't get hit bro" mentality to another level (and yeah, let's not mention the speedrun gate). I'm out.
my rant from a while ago
The only ones in Fox's list that I haven't played are Isaac and XCOM, but the others are all great fun
never even hear of x com
its on my list. but i got back into FTL recently so...
how dare you
still haven't played isaac
*vents away
oh no
oh no
Curse of the Dead Gods was fun but didn't really grab me
I tried gungeon
I like it
but god damnit why is it so difficult
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTER THE GUNGEON
oh yeah i should add gungeon to that list too
me too
I think I'm gonna pick up wizard of legend
i can clear 70% win rate to dragun but only beat the lich once
Thing about gungeon
is it is a raw skill game
You either will never beat in 100 hours
Or you can beat it consistently no matter the build (almost)
Dead cells is good too
But all the reviews I see for it say "it's okay to make mistakes, you can heal"

we live in a society
THERE GOES 30% OF MY HP
that doesn't accept XCOM as rgl

time to rise up gamers
AND IT WAS THE ONLY ENEMY
Rimworld is a story generating rogue-like.
I thought DC is the Hardcore one. Though I suppose both statements aren't mutually exclusive
DC is hardcore, but gungeon is probably peak hardcore
We're not gonna mention DD
i would reverse that, but then again I have my personal opinion on DC
just because of the no hit gate
I beat DD on hardest diff twice 
Won't make or break a run
no i agree
but i can't help getting frustrated when im always like 55-56 enemies in then get hit
im not saying you need it, it's just frustrating for me personally
Yeah I can understand that
What’s always important in feedback is how you actually feel instead of just facts about how the game works
Thing is
playing 5bc
I tried it with a sheild
and the sheild really helps
But it's just not fun for me
Cuz I usually like having 2 weapons that work together
And I only even bother with the sheild against projectiles or bosses
Might get back into it
yeah. not every game needs to fit everybody.
i do love DC parry mechanic though, the reason why I play it to begin with.
cuz I didn't use the sheild too much
Oh I hate parry mechanics
Dodge rolls for the win
yeah
Parries can be fun, just because of how good it can feel to hit multiples of it
my favorite gun in gungeon is perhaps the fightsaber
But just standing there and waiting for enemies to do their animations, feels longer than it is
it's a gun but when you reload you parry while making lightsaber sound
TLDR: most of the games we discussed are great games, just not for everyone
like my mother once said, I love all of you, just not necessarily at the same time.
tfw your favorite LoL team is a coinflip. Sometimes they pop off, sometimes they int in the most confusing manner.
decided to replay shovel knight again, kinda missed it
Shovel Knight is hella good

@acoustic stone We got an entire Discord full of 2B emotes.
Well, it's a 2B Discord for learning how to play her in Soulcalibur VI, but we also got the emotes.
whats ur favorite lol team? cuz if its in the lcs this could be describing most of the teams
also ngl eldest souls looks a lot like titan souls with the top down pixelated view and only soulslike boss fights
lmao true.
but the team in question is FNC. they lost to Misfits today despite having a decent lead early game.
i just wish they put hyli on anything but the Morgana so he can shine. watching him on a passive supp is depressing.
ah ok
tho i feel fnc was steamrolling the past few weeks and then now theyve hit a slump for some reason
yeah they are like that. tomorrow they would face MAD so it's also going to be tough
we will see.
has anybody here played skul the hero slayer?
it was on my wishlist for a bit when it dropped on steam but i never picked it up :/a
guys we just lost the best game of all... the google doodle 😔
aw man
hopefully somebody archived it
that was really really high-production for a Google Doodle
They always archive their doodles
I love their savoy doodle
Rhythm game
It's pretty well charted for something that was only up for few days
I remember there was this Valentines Day one that I really liked
@echo blade oh if uve done the three dreamers, u should be able to finish the game with the normal ending
so u dont have to do anything else really
its a mobile game what do you expect :D
pokemon hasn't been sacred in a long time
it's been years since something was
looks at other mobile pokemon games, checks out tbh
Skul is my favorite 2d rougelite game whatcha wanna know
I have 79 hours in it lol
Finished Iron Danger. It was nice but it feel too prologuey
Well Wild Rift is mobile but it's not P2W. I'm not saying Wild Rift is the examplar of mobile games, but at least it understands that MOBA fundamentally can't have P2W elements.
Pokemon Unite just says YOLO.
i am not really surprised given how nintendo treats... well, all of its mobile titles
they sure leaned into the excessive monetization just like everyone else does
whats it about?
Jesus this week has been brutal on games releases
