is that if the olympics opening doesn't embarrass your country it's not doing its job

mighty forge
#

What had happened in that Olympics?

lofty pecan
#

there was the green pool i think

#

also homeless people/elderly getting displaced but that happens in other olympics as well

woven breach
#

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

#

;-;

lethal drift
#

That's the marks of good music

woven breach
#

The game is phenomenal

#

it's just so happen to be emotionally draining

#

and I am an emotional person

mighty forge
#

Could you guys recommend any games that has a moving plot?

lofty pecan
#

Life is strange

#

hades

#

Gris, what remains of edith finch, gone home, firewatch, and basically every other walking sim

mighty forge
wraith cradle
#

What genre are you after?

polar dragon
#

Not moving but rather "engrossing," Witcher 3.

mighty forge
polar dragon
#

yeah the Witcher 3, I guess, or Transistor?

wraith cradle
# mighty forge Action I think

Hellblade: Senua
ECHO
Nier Replicant
YS VIII
Death Stranding (For a definition of action)
FFXV

Some that spring to mind

sleek quiver
#

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

rancid token
#

You need to put the pieces together yourself, but The Outer Wilds is very moving

dire warren
#

racing games have a lot of moving /j

dire saffron
fathom juniper
#

the plot only moves forward when you move

wraith cradle
#

Oh god, That Franchise is the Apex of pretentiousness

fathom juniper
#

Oh god, That Post is the Apex of missing the joke

rancid token
#

There's way more pretentious titles out there than Superhot

#

Like Braid, or The Witness

fathom juniper
#

saying that superhot is "the Apex of pretentiousness" in the same convo that mentioned LIS is just...

#

a hilarious take, ngl

wraith cradle
#

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

fathom juniper
#

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

dire saffron
fathom juniper
#

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

lofty pecan
#

Its pretty forgettable

fathom juniper
#

gameplay comes first there

dire saffron
#

ahh ok

wraith cradle
#

But to be honest the most pretentious game I've played was YIIK

fathom juniper
#

the Apex of pretentiousness, everyone keksplosion

dire saffron
#

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

wraith cradle
#

They managed to hire Toby Fox to make them a song which he promptly deleted from his resume

fathom juniper
#

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 ANGERY
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

dire saffron
#

that wasnt the point that was being made :/

fathom juniper
#

wtf is that i just wanna play my shooty bang bang game again ANGERY

fathom juniper
#

welp
this is what i get for expecting anything better from a nintendo fan club pepeLUL2

superhot had a story? i thought it was just slow mo shoot red crystal men

+1 didn't reccomend it cause they looked for action

#

I also reccomend as moving games OMORI and Lost Ember

mystic wave
#

those are really good

rancid token
#

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

I like Tetris, good story, good game play

#

you can have your opinions without behaving in such a mean spirited manner towards others whose views conflict with yours

twin yarrow
#

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?

wraith cradle
#

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

twin yarrow
#

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

wraith cradle
#

Because Jesus Christ I didn't expect so much hostility

woven breach
dire saffron
#

since iirc ulv is after hoenir

woven breach
#

No idea really

#

I might need to explore the earlier areas for loot

dire saffron
#

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

dire saffron
#

since if you got that then you got ending A

woven breach
#

I don't recall

#

And I haven't gotten any ending

dire saffron
#

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

woven breach
#

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

#

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

coral hawk
#

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

rich stump
#

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

coral hawk
#

I've had my 360 controller about 2? years

rich stump
#

I bought this for my switch and it's been flawless

#

has nfc function, vibrates

#

can turn on

coral hawk
#

oh I have a fantastic controller for my switch

rich stump
#

wwirelessly

coral hawk
#

I just play handheld cause medical stuff

rich stump
#

ohh.. Yea

#

do you know a good hand held set of cons?

coral hawk
#

not really

rich stump
#

Im sorry to hear that man, sounds painful

coral hawk
#

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)

rich stump
#

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

coral hawk
#

I've heard that getting those little joycon ?covers? makes them drift less

rich stump
#

well that would make sense but thats a preemptive move which seems smart if you have a new controller

coral hawk
#

AH button caps

#

Thats the word

rich stump
#

hmm

#

what are those? got a link?

coral hawk
#

thumb grip caps

rich stump
#

Ohhhh

#

yea i've seen those

#

ribbed fer yer pleasure

#

"they dont make em like they used to" I wish that weren't true.

coral hawk
#

I've heard they help stop drift but I have no proof of that lol

rich stump
#

my buddy, he just uses an adapter and plays with an xbox controller on switch LOL

coral hawk
#

I mean my favorite controller ever was the snes pro for wii

rich stump
#

dude you could buy a trashed snes controller right now on ebay

#

and it would be reliable

#

even the dpad lol

coral hawk
#

oh yeah

rich stump
#

worse comes to worse

#

you spend less than $5 to take it apart and repair it yourself

coral hawk
#

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

woven breach

-your amazon

high price

coral hawk

Yo Quiero Taco Bell

amirite

rich stump
#

but

woven breach
#

kek

rich stump
#

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

coral hawk
#

I liked it cause the analog is notched

rich stump
#

yea

#

octo gate or w/e i should know this

coral hawk
#

I never realised how much I liked the notched analog until I didn't have it anymore lol

rich stump
#

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

woven breach
#

and then there's me with "totally legit" switch pro controller

coral hawk
#

I have the "official licensed" ninty pro controller

#

which means its 20 bucks bad quality

#

but it has a pikachu on it

rich stump
#

never again.

coral hawk
#

haha you said a naughty I saw the robot yell at you

rich stump
#

lol

#

thats not really naughty

#

xD

woven breach
#

there are worse insults I agree

rich stump
#

well I said it about myself xD

#

basically I was complaining earlier about official controllers Fluffy.

coral hawk
#

Might wanna delete that tho since it could be "evading word filter"

woven breach

yea I get it lol

coral hawk

kinda thing

rich stump
#

and by gum, I feel justified.

k

i've been banned for less on Discords.. LOL

coral hawk
#

which is why I don't test the water lol

rich stump
#

God tell me about.. Lol

coral hawk
#

This is the pikachu controller I was talking about

#

its so heavy compared to like every controller I've ever had

rich stump
#

From nintendo at least that design is way less likely to drift

coral hawk
#

Not from nintendo

rich stump
#

still.. I kind of feel like the 3rd party market is kicking butt there

#

the one I have is super good

woven breach
#

wait a min, pre owned is more expensive than new?

#

#

oh thats just gamestop lmao

"Wanna return but can’t find recite (got the warre)"

#

wow

rich stump
#

"C..can I trade this brand new game i---" "4 DOLLARS"

coral hawk
#

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

rich stump
#

You probably had a rare game or two

#

that would have gotten a good amount on Ebay xD

coral hawk
#

oh nah

rich stump
#

and the mustache man behind the counter

#

with his cigar

#

He laughs as he takes your games and consoles

#

I didn't trade in any games cause e-games

#

LOL Im so jealous, 2 vitas.

coral hawk
#

well 1 broke

rich stump
#

Oh I love my 3ds

#

not getting rid of that.

coral hawk
#

and the other was a gift from a friend who gave it to me specifically to trade in towards switch

rich stump
#

can we talk about hacking on here?

coral hawk
#

I assume they aren't affialted with any console

rich stump
#

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

coral hawk
#

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

rich stump
#

your broken vita would get you $150 easy lol

coral hawk
#

eh well

rich stump
#

Its an amazing little emulator

coral hawk
#

I typically only stick to current gen

#

cause I don't play much

rich stump
#

that's understandable

coral hawk
#

(plus I have a nice laptop)

rich stump
#

See I gravitate to those cuz i missed out on a lot of those consoles growing up

coral hawk
#

oh same

rich stump
#

And yea you can e m u

coral hawk
#

we were very poor lol

rich stump
#

but for the DS and 3ds

#

same.. LOL

#

its not as fun playing those emus

so I got the 3ds for castlevania.. xD

I had a snes until i was about 17-18

rich stump
#

Yes Fluffy

#

yes.

coral hawk
#

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

rich stump
#

Sounds nice

#

Just hope it um.. you know

#

DOESN'T DRIFT lol

coral hawk
#

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

rich stump
#

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

coral hawk
#

I mean I mostly care about button placement

#

same

#

I play a LOT of 2D rouge li(ght)kes

rich stump
#

yea?

#

have you tried Skol

coral hawk
#

and I need a dpad

#

Skul is one of my favorite 2d ones

rich stump
#

im still getting into it

#

I've been playing GetsuFumaDen

coral hawk
#

I have 79 hours in skul

rich stump
#

of course, we all love Dead Cells here

#

Nice!

coral hawk
#

and most of that was before they updated for the endgame

#

lololol

rich stump
#

I feel like Skul is a good successor to Dead Cells

#

I've been playing Getsu and Record of Lodoss

coral hawk
#

A new one that came out

#

recently

#

is blade assault

rich stump
#

I have it

coral hawk

which has a lot of promise to be good

rich stump

haven't played it yet

coral hawk
#

but isn't currently great

rich stump
#

I love love LOVE metroidvanias

coral hawk
#

Same

rich stump
#

and of course Hades.

#

I feel like Hades might be a new Metroidvania 2.0

#

(I know it doesn't make sense)

coral hawk
#

disagree

rich stump
#

I know I know

coral hawk
#

lol

rich stump
#

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

rich stump

Not at all man.

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

polar dragon
wraith cradle
#

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

polar dragon

TLoU2 and dramas

#

Or, I guess just vidya gaem in general

dire condor

cells is somewhat a mertiodvania the first few times you play and then its just a rougelike with split paths

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

polar dragon
#

The weight is used for vibration I bet.

coral hawk
#

also the reason my A button sticks

#

is cause the little button press plastic piece is almost torn off the rest of them

sleek quiver
#

Sounds like wear and tear, could use a replacement fix

#

Or… it’s a defect and you should mount a lawsuit dusa

coral hawk
#

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?

rancid token

I recommend anything from 8Bitdo

While I agree

8bitdo look fantastic but are rather expensive

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

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?

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

dire condor

I think it's wishful thinking to assume companies weren't underpaying women back then either

#

if anything it used to be worse

fathom juniper
#

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

dire condor
#

hm alright

twin yarrow
#

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

fathom juniper
#

@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

#

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

twin yarrow
#

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

fathom juniper
#

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

twin yarrow
#

there will be some major changes in the future

fathom juniper
#

god almighty, have mercy on us

twin yarrow
#

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

fathom juniper
#

god i hope so

twin yarrow
#

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

fathom juniper
#

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

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"

#

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)_/¯

polar dragon
#

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

polar dragon
# gentle cloak They ARE untouchable. They just bribe people to do nothing

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.

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"

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

twin yarrow
#

well, first thing to consider is CPU, then graphic card

coral hawk
#

stoneshard

twin yarrow
#

motherboard is picked after CPU to match its characteristics

#

then memory, RAM and hard drives

broken smelt
#

primarily, set a budget for yourself it will help a whole bunch

twin yarrow
#

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

clear hull
#

well is there anybody who can kind of walk me through this? here's my requirements really..

#
  1. Action games like DMC5, DOOM Eternal, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance...
#
  1. Emulation for things like PSX, PS2 and PS3...
#
  1. 3D Modeling for blender and alike
#

from what i asked around basically all of these are kind of linked together really

broken smelt
#

what's your budget?

clear hull
#

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?

broken smelt
#

also are you set with going intel, or open with going amd

clear hull
#

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

broken smelt
#

I noticed the 3D modelling and that has better performance on the AMD atm, particularly blender

clear hull
#

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

broken smelt
#

I'm assuming the budget is in USD?

clear hull
#

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

lethal drift
#

clear hull
#

i can't tell what to go with

#

one big caviet atm is, gpu prices are completely awful

clear hull
#

i know

broken smelt
#

good good ^_^

clear hull
#

but really regardless i need baselines

#

and well worse case scenario i can always step down from there

#

but i need a FULL list

broken smelt
#

however, the market is slowly improving

clear hull
#

how can you tell?

broken smelt
#

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

those are just the important bits

clear hull
#

well i'm looking for a PC, tower

coral hawk
#

yes but you asked for a baseline

clear hull
#

oh i see well i meant like in terms of the actual part names and etc

coral hawk
#

I'm saying this is what I have and works for everything I could ever want to run

clear hull
#

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

broken smelt
clear hull
#

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

broken smelt
#

yeah, putting together a rough parts list atm

clear hull
#

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

broken smelt
#

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

clear hull
#

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?

broken smelt
#

yeah, both matter a fair bit in blender

clear hull
#

like why wouldn't i want an intel CPU?

#

besides the price?

broken smelt
#

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?

clear hull
#

not really i do have a hard line

#

basically it can be optional/sacrificed

broken smelt
#

good to know ^_^

clear hull
#

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

broken smelt
clear hull
#

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.)"

broken smelt
#

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

clear hull
#

oh ok

#

but worse can scenario can i update it myself?

broken smelt
#

yeah you can, the particular mobo in the list has a BIOS flashback button

clear hull
#

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

broken smelt
#

yeah, it's quite a bit, but honestly will last many many years

clear hull
#

i hope so, tbh i have this very bad feeling though i might not be able to afford this

broken smelt
clear hull
#

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?

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.

Curse of the Dead Gods was fun but didn't really grab me

spark mason
#

I tried gungeon

#

I like it

#

but god damnit why is it so difficult

#

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTER THE GUNGEON

polar dragon
#

oh yeah i should add gungeon to that list too

remote marsh
#

#

it was fun

#

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

spark mason
#

But all the reviews I see for it say "it's okay to make mistakes, you can heal"

I TAKE ON HIT ON TACTICS

Rimworld is a story generating rogue-like.

#

We're not gonna mention DD

polar dragon
#

i would reverse that, but then again I have my personal opinion on DC

#

just because of the no hit gate

spark mason
#

It's not a necessity tho

#

Sometimes you get it

#

sometimes you don't

polar dragon
spark mason
#

Won't make or break a run

polar dragon
#

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

sleek quiver
#

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

spark mason
#

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

polar dragon
#

yeah. not every game needs to fit everybody.
i do love DC parry mechanic though, the reason why I play it to begin with.

spark mason
#

cuz I didn't use the sheild too much

#

Oh I hate parry mechanics

#

Dodge rolls for the win

polar dragon
#

yeah

sleek quiver
#

Parries can be fun, just because of how good it can feel to hit multiples of it

polar dragon
#

my favorite gun in gungeon is perhaps the fightsaber

sleek quiver
#

But just standing there and waiting for enemies to do their animations, feels longer than it is

spark mason
#

Yeah

#

I don't like using sheilds

#

but they feel like ALMOST a necessity at 5bc

polar dragon
#

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.

@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.

i just wish they put hyli on anything but the Morgana so he can shine. watching him on a passive supp is depressing.
