But isn't 6063 still largely aluminum?

[modest pebble]

yea 6063 and 7075 are the good aluminum alloy's

A383 is also good

under 6063 and 7075 but still a good alloy for certian uses

[rain dove]

Wait so why are we shaming 6063

[modest pebble]

man

"its just cheap ass metal
and because it has some content of aluminum in it, china companies like to call stuff made with it "aluminum alloy construction"
keychron used to be some kind of pot metal idk remember what it was actual composed of but not 6063
but that changed a long time ago
it was kinda funny cuz some of their early metal boards weighed a metric fucking ton due to being shit metal
not like metal quality really evne matters, structural integrity on a keyboard doesnt really matter "
this is all related to pot metals

just google pot metal

[willow idol]

I'm American, I've got a desk gun for that.

[split axle]

Pull it out and shoot your keyboard xDd

@rain dove https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution

[rain dove]

However, the term 2K itself is generic, was not coined by DCI, and does not refer specifically to the DCI 2K standard. Usage of the term 2K predates the publication of the DCI standard.

trolled

[split axle]

IK lol that is why I posted it

2K resolution is a generic term for display devices or content having a horizontal resolution of approximately 2,000 pixels

[cyan lake]

anyone got some good horror game's for me to try on steam? cause i wanna see how long can i survive till i scream

[split axle]

They were giving evil within free on epic games lol

[split axle]

Outlast and outlast 2 evil within 1

[frozen sparrow]

doesn’t Outlast 2 suck?

[cyan lake]

well shit i gotta buy evil within

[frozen sparrow]

Alien Isolation, SOMA (is on game pass too iirc)

[modest pebble]

Alien isolation is honestly way more then just a horror game. survival, horror, adventure combo

Super good game

[brittle oar]

just keep your mic plugged in and turned on for the best experience

[split axle]

Soma is nice and alien isolation too

[snow hull]

So, i just discovered something interesting.

I've been binge watching "The Rookie" the TV Show, guess who ties to "The Division" from that show?

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2047780/?ref_=tt_cl_t_1

Melissa Oneil, was the voice of Faye Lau in The Division, she is also Lucy Chen in the TV Show, The Rookie.

[random skiff]

I love finding actors from div in other things.
shout-out to Midsomer Murders in that one Season where Keener was the secondary main good guy.

[snow hull]

well.....

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3451374/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_11_act

Start referencing 🙂

Ahh found another good one :

The Division and Mayor of Kingstown - Rod Stewart

Voice of Charles Bliss in TD and Police Captain Heard in Mayor of Kingstown.

oh man, there are a bunch of good ones in there

[cyan lake]

So do we know who voices Manny here?

[frigid trail]

Joseph May

he voices manny

jordan reynolds voices the loot goblin

huh had no idea john hopkins voices keener

[cyan lake]

Wow Joseph may looks like a younger version of Manny here

[frigid trail]

he does

[cyan lake]

And man who knew that someone playing as Lucas grey from hitman 2 can also be a charismatic sociopath that wants to end lower Manhattan with a virus missile

[random skiff]

The funniest one will always be that Keener's character has the same surname as ISAC's VA.
So if ISAC ever goes rogue, don't say I didn't warn you.

[snow hull]

DICE and EA not only voiced Michael K. Williams as "Irish" from Battlefield 4 and later on into 2042, they visually modelled him aswell. That happens quite often, after looking at Joseph May, its way to similar in looks that they didn't just age or "weather" him a bit.

This is Irish and Michael Williams in the real side by side.

[rain dove]

i have to design a wind turbine for one of my classes

so far so good it spins from just my ceiling fan

[snow hull]

what kind of turbine?

Power Generation? Free Wheeling? Thrust Production?

[rain dove]

free wheeling

its just being measured on rpm output basically

my group is in charge of the base while im in charge of the actual uh

blades

[snow hull]

what have you come up with thus far? Airfoil or scoop designs?

[rain dove]

airfoil

30 blades xD

[snow hull]

so just a ceiling fan turns it thus far?

[rain dove]

i mean its 3d printed so

the whole thing is 3d printed

if i had the ability to injection mold id be going much further lol

[snow hull]

that was my next question, along with, restrictions on build?

[rain dove]

the whole thing is 130mm dia (the blade)

[snow hull]

then i would use the airfoil shape from a personal drone, the prop blades are pretty much as efficient as you can get

[rain dove]

i dont own any drones :p

[snow hull]

you dont need to

just get the airfoil shape and load that into the printer

[rain dove]

also its not outputting air its inputting

which is largely different design wise

[snow hull]

doesn't matter, airfoils work both ways

[rain dove]

its a matter of pressure not flow so

[snow hull]

they can be 'pushed' or 'pulled' and freewheel, the orientation of the blades determines the efficiency

[rain dove]

im designing after a steam turbine

[snow hull]

which largely mimics that of a jet engine in design, okay..... then use power turbine airfoils

[rain dove]

because pressure oriented design

[snow hull]

exactly, the combustion chamber is your pressure source just ahead of the power turbine in a jet engine

its "pushed"

[rain dove]

thats why i have 30 blades not four

Just to grab as much air as possible

I might need to curve the blades so some small bits of air don't seep between

[rain dove]

I curved the blades so some small bits of air don't seep between

[tender kayak]

dont you want air to spin the blades so you can get energy?

[rain dove]

Yes

[sacred snow]

if i use chatgpt to check for errors in my programs then does that make me a scam

[frozen sparrow]

no

[thorny saddle]

Rockstar just announced GTA 6 on Twitter

The Trailer comes out early December

It's blowing up so fast xD

[modest pebble]

Thats never going to help you

Debugging is 99% of the work in programming

[sacred snow]

what about the simplier ones like "you need this command 1 line lower"

[sour moon]

🔥🔥 hopefully gta 6 comes out before div3

[random skiff]

Div3 was only just announced to actually exist, where-as we are getting a trailer for GTA 6 in a month's time.
So odds are good it will come out first.

[thorny saddle]

Like I love The Division a lot...but when GTA comes out

I'm sorry The Divsion but...I have to put you on hold for a year or more ngl xD

[random skiff]

the Shark Cards must've been doing marginally worse recently, so GTA 6 will probably reinvigorate that.

[thorny saddle]

Haha yeah

But it's probably because Rockstar is turning 25 years at the beginning of december

[random skiff]

It is kind of funny that they don't count their founding as 1987 and DMA Design.
We're this close to getting a Lemmings x GTA crossover. This close.

[sacred snow]

watch as they let the game hang for another 10 years once their microtrans sales go up

[sour moon]

Imagine gta 6 online fails like rdo

[rain dove]

imagine GTA was an actually good game

[random skiff]

Eevee the pokemon is a rabbit

fluffy tail, floppy ears, bent back legs. Rabbit.

[rain dove]

shit take

very goddamned shit take wow

[rain dove]

google "fennec fox"

eevee is a fox

[random skiff]

fun fact: a lot of pet stores ban selling eevee at easter.

because its a rabbit.

[modest pebble]

Nope

You should understand your syntax and formatting

It’s very important

Tho it may seem insignificant

What language are you using?

[sacred snow]

c++

[rain dove]

rivens literally google fennec fox

eevee is a fox istg

[modest pebble]

You should be able to go through and fully debug everything

[rain dove]

here ill do it for u

[random skiff]

Will that help eevee not be a rabbit?
i dont think so.

[modest pebble]

There shouldn’t be error that you need chat GPT to fix lol

[rain dove]

https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/files/2022/12/pexels-zetong-li-10186375-1-scaled.jpg eevee is a fox

[random skiff]

why did you link me a photo of Peter Cottontail?

[rain dove]

what

[sacred snow]

from my usage the error that i made are usually some random stuff like "you have a spare ; here" or logic error.

[rain dove]

these are literally foxes

[sacred snow]

i would paste the code back into my program since its 99% complete and i try to understand it before i paste it in

[modest pebble]

It’s a sign to just stop and save your sanity

[modest pebble]

Logic errors are something you should figure out

Little ; whatever logic errors are big

Don’t use chatGPT

Read through and do dry runs

Itll make you a more efficient programmer

[sacred snow]

i see

so what would chatgpt be helpful for in your opinion

[modest pebble]

Messing around doing whatever. HTML

[split axle]

Just don't take chat GPT's word for it

I remember during my collage assignment

[late vine]

Writing short stories

[split axle]

I asked it to write on a disease

It wrong there is no cure for that disease and on next line it wrote the way to treat disease is

[sacred snow]

if i dont understand something it spews then i probably wont use it

like half of the time using chatgpt im just trying to figure out what the fuck is it writing

[split axle]

Stack overflow is better than gpt lol

[sacred snow]

like who tf uses std:: or #include vector

[cyan lake]

So what are there any good Xbox games here considering I'm now bored and search of new stuff to try

[sacred snow]

stack overflow is ok but its really 50/50 whether if i find what i need there

[split axle]

That is a good way to improve knowledge by reading code but reading wrong code can become a problem

Docs are the best thing

[sacred snow]

i told it to use std once and now it actually writes coherent codes

still i gotta check the functions and all

my uni tutor told me that i dont need to understand all the math involved behind a function yet

so usually ill just google "how to do this" and then try to rewrite it in vs

[split axle]

That is wrong tbh you need to know the math if you write a function

[sacred snow]

sorry i wasn't clear.
what he meant is that i dont have to solve it myself,i can just google and code the actual function by myself

[split axle]

Ahh ok I got it

[sacred snow]

as someone who's more educated about coding do you guys think chatgpt has legit uses in coding

[modest pebble]

It’s actually useful for commenting other people’s code if you don’t understand it. I’ve used it for other peoples code in a big project that I didn’t quite understand. That + research is actually quite useful

Because some people are incapable of commenting

[sacred snow]

so it explains the code if you don't understand it?

[split axle]

It will comment what that line is doing

[modest pebble]

It can explain its function and why it’s used. Can also give alternatives to check if that person is just writing something in a different/weird way

[sacred snow]

ahh i see now

[split axle]

But it fucks up from time to time

[modest pebble]

Yea

[split axle]

So just be a bit careful

[modest pebble]

It’s not always right, gotta do the research part aswell

[split axle]

I miss c++

Swift is shit

[sacred snow]

i have a sister thats in secondary school rn and she's already learning python

when i was her age my IT class was still teaching pascal

actually ancient language

thats why i barely pay attention in class

by the time i hit high school my general typing ability was shit and i kinda regretted not typing pascal codes

[modest pebble]

Fuck swift

[sacred snow]

they're still useless but at least i get to learn how to type properly

like not even properly just in a reasonable speed

[modest pebble]

I’m at a love hate relationship with python

[split axle]

Assembly is the biggest PITA

[modest pebble]

Granted I’m not the best programmer nor am I even a programmer by job but I do a lot of it (network engineer)

[modest pebble]

I love ASM

Lol

[sacred snow]

as of now my typing is way better but thats because my handwriting is so shit my english tutor told me to take the ielts test on a computer instead of writing it like any normal person

[split axle]

I never said I hate it but sometimes it can be pita

[sacred snow]

like she deadass said that my writing score would tank if i write the exact same thing down a piece of paper

[split axle]

Besides c/c++ and asm is a a nice combo

[sacred snow]

what language do people use commercially rn

for coding i mean

[split axle]

Depends on what they want to do

[sacred snow]

im planning on learning something else after c++

[modest pebble]

Java, python, C#, C++

Those are the most common from what I see

[split axle]

Javascript 👀

[sacred snow]

friends told me to learn html so i can do web coding as a side gig

[modest pebble]

Fucking web coding

[split axle]

CSS html and javascript for basic understanding

[modest pebble]

A trained monkey can do HTML

It’s literally just English

[split axle]

Don't use Google

Also learn SQL

[modest pebble]

I hate “HTML specialists”. You speak the English language good job

[split axle]

Yeah lol

[split axle]

Is very helpful

[sacred snow]

oh god what the fuck

[modest pebble]

SQL my beloved

[sacred snow]

i just hit ctrl+u on a wikihow page

[split axle]

Lol

[sacred snow]

yea nah its gonna take a while to learn this

[modest pebble]

HTML? Trust me it won’t

Wanna make a header? Type <header>

Wanna make a footer? Type <footer>

[sacred snow]

my man is hosting a html class in a discord channel

[modest pebble]

Wanna set the language of the HTML? Type HTML lang=“en”

Wowie

So complex

[split axle]

Body <body>

Also they are case insensitive

[sacred snow]

is there like 95% more things that i need to learn

https://www.wikihow.com/View-Source-Code like i googled this

and then hit ctrl+u and i see like a couple hundred lines

[split axle]

That comes with experience

[split axle]

Basically the page source code

[modest pebble]

Ofc there’s more but HTML is a very very simple language if you speak English. Most things are semantic which basically means the statement is in plain English

Being good at JS is a lot more valuable

[split axle]

Also a non relational db like mongo

[sacred snow]

what's js

ah java

[modest pebble]

HTML is also standardized which is so funny. Everyone’s HTML looks the same

[sacred snow]

should have googled that first

[modest pebble]

NodeJS also but that’s more server sided

[sacred snow]

on a scale from 1 to 10 how would you rate online courses that teach coding languages

[modest pebble]

I hate websites in general tbqh. Website people are on the same level as IT specialists

[sacred snow]

i keep telling myself that i need to sign up for coursera but im too lazy

[sacred snow]

as in they suck?

[modest pebble]

I’ve only ever spent time on leetcode

Not really a course but

[modest pebble]

As in not special and low level in the tech industry

But I have my own bias view ofc

Tbh most programmers at our company can do both websites and applications

Which is something every programmer should be able to do

[frigid trail]

Already snowing here with hail and freezing rain ain't even 2nd week of November yet man

Roads are awful

[cyan lake]

Anyone got some good single player Xbox one games here? Cause I don't know what to buy

[ancient wraith]

what are you interested in?

[amber horizon]

I could say "oh play Yakuza 0, its really good!" but if you dont like beatemup RPGs with a super serious primary story and comically funny and non-serious side stories, you'd probably not like Yakuza. Or i could reccomend Hades, but if you dont like Roguelike games or you dont like the angle you play at, you probably arent gonna like Hades either. Gotta give us something to work with here.

Now that being said, i will recommend Persona 4 Golden. Great JRPG all around, and one of my favorite games of all time.

[ancient wraith]

maybe try the new assassins' creed to stay with Ubisoft ?

[rain dove]

I saw a fox last night it was cool

[restive wadi]

pog?!

[rain dove]

Yes it was a fox

It looked at me then floofed off

Average fox interaction

It didn't run away just floofed off nose stuck in grass

[restive wadi]

It floofed off

I know exactly what you mean

[split axle]

Average Division Moment

[rain dove]

i love it when foxes floof off

[split axle]

You should implement them in div2

[rain dove]

they are in div 2

have you literally not seen a fox in-game

[split axle]

Very rare

Deers I see often

[slender gulch]

i only see red panda

[rain dove]

red panda is in zoo fox is on street

[slender gulch]

and deer

[split axle]

Swap(🦌, 🦊)

[cyan lake]

Well I like those that have horror or the ones that I can do dumb shit in them

[amber horizon]

There goes all my reccomendations.

[rain dove]

what recommendations

[amber horizon]

Scroll up. Panther was looking for game reccomendations but didnt specify what they liked.

[split axle]

Soma is nice

[rain dove]

ah

[slender gulch]

dead island 2

[slender gulch]

reccomended for fox lover
https://youtu.be/-tDm9rkw_0M?si=eeEyNAjcNM58lGSI

[ancient wraith]

Outlast?

Kinda fun and spooky

[sacred snow]

guys i can recommend Destiny 2

[bright swan]

I can recommend against it strongly

Awww I can't use my emotes

[restive wadi]

Personally enjoyed Dying Light 1/2

[bright swan]

DL1 I loved, 2...not so much

[restive wadi]

2 got a lot better with all the updates they did

they overhauled combat and parkour a lot and added DL1's best feature, the Legend Levels

[bright swan]

Fair

[restive wadi]

now we just wait for 1 good dlc for that game but the last one was absolutely terrible

[bright swan]

It just left a bad taste in my mouth after playing it for a while so I just went back to the first one and haven't thought of the second since

[sacred snow]

i didn’t play much of dying light 2 but it was definitely awesome

though i really struggled with early game so i go looked up a box that you kick 100 times and it gives you a blueprint to craft a pretty dope machete

it 1 shot most normal zombies and even when its broken its like a 2-3 hits compared to a table leg lol

[frozen sparrow]

i got the first on sale at some friends’ recommendation, most of them refunded it…

very silly i thought it was pretty cool, wish the DROPs didn’t stop though (do they come back? didn’t play much post game)

[frozen sparrow]

the geniuses decided we should do the prison raid when none of us had beaten the game yet

that was a massive boring waste of time

[sacred snow]

it was free on epic for me

it was too laggy on my cranky ass laptop so i put it on the “ill play it later” list

[frozen sparrow]

that’s me with the DLC

[sacred snow]

also i saw some prison gameplay

you either speed thru it or waste an insane amount of resource to clear it which is like

why

[frozen sparrow]

considering the 30 second loot room it’s definitely a speed thing for sweaties

[cyan lake]

Nah I already played back when the season of undying dropped and I was a f2p here and man I was dunked so many times by those that are either p2w or just grinding better than I did

Also does it count if I get the RE:2 remake?

[frozen sparrow]

it's easily the best of the modern RE remake trilogy

[cyan lake]

Well good cause I found one that is kinda cheap with 3 5 star's

And now I gotta renew my Xbox gold which truned into Xbox core for some reason to play payday 2

[frozen sparrow]

they're renaming the whole scheme cus game pass is the focus

[cyan lake]

so now i have to buy this game pass core just to play multiplayer and my holy grace that is payday 2 with it's banger soundtrack

[frozen sparrow]

you don't have to buy anything more than you used to afaik

[cyan lake]

well i got my payday 2 through that gamepass core so i might have to

either that or i might have to waste money to buy a copy of payday 2

[junior acorn]

Core replaced gold and just has some game pass games like pd2

No real extra cost

Honestly the whole subscription model is scummy

Its just so they milk money from us forever

[cyan lake]

i mean before they added this i u sed to buy like a 12 month gold but i kinda stopped and went with a 6 month and now that this appeared this just bullshit

[junior acorn]

Yeah same

12 month gold codes from 3rd party sites was the way to go

[frozen sparrow]

man you can google it CDKeys is still the first result

[cyan lake]

man just as i opened my third party app to get a cheaper price all it showed when i typed" xbox live gold" was the fucking gamepass core

[cyan lake]

managed to get a 2x3 xbox gamepass core which totals 6 months that i can now use

[shy vine]

Bro I'm in this waiting room and it stinks like the elderly

[cyan lake]

where exactly?

cause if it's a hospittal then itr's probably the smell of disinfectant or rubbing alcohol

[frigid trail]

Alr honkai star rail is a good game

Played 5 hours got to trailblaze level 17

[sour moon]

Lol nice to see my shoes dont slip on ice

[solemn sparrow]

All wheel drive shoes? Nice.

[sour moon]

Lol some £20 work shoes

[dim mesa]

What are community thoughts on the decent? I haven't played it much. Returning player from before year 5 launch. Does it have checkpoints? How long does a full run take? Can you target loot and is it good loot?

[amber horizon]

Descent is a roguelite mode. No checkpoints, a "full run" could take anywhere from half an hour to 6 hours. The loot is something i'm not familiar with, as i've barely run it but the nemesis can drop special caches that can contain blueprints for previously uncraftable named items.

[rain dove]

0. It's pretty good, can get boring solo (like a lot of content) but I do like it
1. No checkpoints
2. To nemesis (the "main boss" per se) it takes 30-60 minutes, but after that you can go on infinitely
3. No targeted loot, but you have a chance at reconstructed caches which drop exclusive blueprints (legacy season and other named exclusives)

[neat merlin]

6 hrs? Is that redoing it or how long in general?

[rain dove]

id say it takes about an hour per 5 loops average so 30 loops in 6 hours is pretty average

[amber horizon]

Its an infinite mode, so you can continue going for however long you want, until you die.

[split axle]

It gets boring after some time tbh cause the rooms are the same

[frigid trail]

Well it seems DB got dethroned bleach took its place

Now the top 3 are OP naruto and bleach

[rain dove]

Did they redo the ghost recon breakpoint box art?

I found two different colours

[random skiff]

The different editions seem to have different colours.

[rain dove]

same edition if thats what you mean

one is physically printed darker

same UPC same model#

[random skiff]

Probably a printing error then if it's only a shade difference. Or maybe it's a region thing.

[rain dove]

same region

i dont even own a playstation should i buy the game lol

[random skiff]

Did you like Wildlands? It's basically Wildlands but kinda more hollow feeling.

[rain dove]

i meant should i buy it for the sole reason that its a misprint

[random skiff]

Well it's not going to retain or gain value, so if you get a kick out of it, sure why not

[neat merlin]

That's pretty neat

[sacred snow]

Wait til a big sale or sumthin

I got the ultimate edition at a whopping 9 dollars on a sale on epic

[rain dove]

no like

a physical copy misprint

[rain dove]

misprints do gain value over time tho

[random skiff]

That's only if there is a market for them, and I can say with a fair bit of certainty that no one is looking for a slightly different shade of colour on the cover of Breakpoint.

[rain dove]

lol

[tender kayak]

who turned an AI gay?

@random skiff

[amber horizon]

Nothing is wrong with turning the AI gay. She actually decided that for herself.

[neat merlin]

I'm definitely looking forward to the sale, I'm going to get the pc version.

[rugged lava]

its $18 on ubisoft right now

for the wony edition with expansion

doesnt go much lower than that

but only for 3 more days then it goes back up to 30 or 40 or whatever

[sacred snow]

grab the epic games version so you dont get fomoed out of enforcer

[rugged lava]

enforcer is just a flex. regular super 90 is more powerful.

[sacred snow]

but it looks cooler therefore

enforcer>superlame 90

[rugged lava]

sound logic

[split axle]

Yeah a flex 💪

[rain dove]

im waiting for season pass for div 1 to go on sale

[split axle]

Ahh I see you can't access survival and underground

[rain dove]

Never bought it

[split axle]

Should try resistance imo far better than descent

[dawn raft]

kinda wish we had image permissions here

in the meantime, i did this:
#fanart-and-photomode message

[lunar raptor]

the verison on epic runs way better then the steam version

[split axle]

Cause it doesn't requires epic to be open

[rain dove]

I don't understand why people prefer steam

I absolutely hate it

UI is incredibly out of date

+overlay sucks

[supple marsh]

because it works

as much as I'll complain about valve and point out their very obvious flaws steam is just

way better than egs just because of loading time alone

why the hell would you make your launcher out of unreal engine dumb as hell

[rain dove]

I'm just saying I'm one of the people who honestly have had much worse experience with steam than even ubi connect

[supple marsh]

never had any problems with steam

I dont get the the UI is out of date argument when its like

[rain dove]

Takes like a whole ass minute to load into div 1

[supple marsh]

its easy enough to buy and launch games

[rain dove]

Unless I launch from ubi connect

[rain dove]

There's way too many menus

[supple marsh]

you dont have to use them

[rain dove]

You have to actually search for the game library if you don't know where it is

[supple marsh]

?????

[rain dove]

The game library is in a submenu

[supple marsh]

its always at the top

[rain dove]

Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly but

It's always a hassle trying to find literally anything

[supple marsh]

its always on the top in all caps saying LIBRARY

right next to STORE

[rain dove]

I might be thinking of one of the submenus idk

But I've always hated it

Also the overlay is just awful

[supple marsh]

more functional and readable than ubicon for inviting friends whenever I need to

and notifs dont take up a third of my screen for no reason

[rain dove]

I so much prefer ubi con

[random skiff]

Also, I don't have to confirm that I want to open Steam 3 times, unlike ubicon.

and it doesn't make me relog every week or so.

and the overlay actually works.

[rain dove]

I never have to relog

Nor do I have issues with the overlay not working

Maybe Ubisoft just likes my PC lmfao

[random skiff]

I've had this problem across what, 3 different PC's now, technically 6 but it was the same HDD in a couple so I'll give it a pass

[rain dove]

Weird af

[random skiff]

although I will say that Steam these days forcing its way back to the top of the pile when I try to login and tab over is incredibly annoying and I wish they'd change that back.

[rain dove]

Am I just magic at this point

Oh also steam games reset volume every time you open them

Pisses me the hell off

[random skiff]

Wait, reset volume? Like Windows? Because that's a you thing.

or ingame, because that's also not a common thing.

[rain dove]

I'm referring to Windows

It's completely a reported thing too try it

[random skiff]

Never happened to me once in....13 years.
gosh I'm old.

and technically my first account was before that, but that one is long lost by now.

[rain dove]

So whenever you manually change game volume in sound settings it stays there when you relaunch?

Are you sure

[random skiff]

Yeah 100%.
I'm kinda specific about settings.

[rain dove]

I'm referring to specifically steam only launched games

As in not ubi titles since they go through connect

[random skiff]

Yep Steam, it's my primary use.
currently going through Darktide and I have to modify the ingame sound if someone else is trying for a VC since its so loud by default.

People having this same issue nine years ago

[random skiff]

Guess it just didn't hit me.
9 years ago I was running payday 2 so yeah I would've noticed.

[rain dove]

Wtf

Maybe it's only certain titles idk

[random skiff]

It likely just didn't hit everyone.
Like how I was physically incapable of playing Fallout 3 back in the day due to GFWL but other people had no issues.

[rain dove]

Wack

[frigid trail]

Yay work got up at 445 am ots 512 gotta he out the door for 520 😒

We love work

[dawn raft]

do you guys remember that crossover with Girls' Frontline?

[shy vine]

Easy
Got up at 450 and needed to check in a 5

Did it (will shower when I get home)

[rugged lava]

did you guys know that never once in the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty does it mention that he was an egg? yet he's always depicted as a man-egg

[frozen sparrow]

an egg is probably the best option for a fragile thing that can be anthropomorphised

[rugged lava]

yeah it makes perfect sense. i wonder who was the first to draw him that way tho

[late vine]

It was a cannon originally, a rather large one mounted on a tall tower defending a town. Enemies collapsed the tower which brought it down and smashed it.

(This was an actual historical event from an English civil war)

[rugged lava]

Fascinating historical detail memorialized in a children's rhyme

[late vine]

Yep, there's a few like that - 'Ring a roses' dates back to the plague (which flowers were believed to help ward off)

[rugged lava]

Yeah that one is dark. Like a way to make death less scary by singing silliness about it

[late vine]

'Oranges and Lemons' gets pretty dark too, I'd guess it relates to condemned prisoners or similar

[random skiff]

Actually the explanation for "ring a rosie" didn't appear until well after the Plague, and people either just assumed it was at a later date, or changed its lyrics after the fact to match.

There's actually a ton of them like that, it's a really fun subject if you want to go down a rabbit hole.

[rugged lava]

Very interesting. The amount of things we take for historical fact which turn out to be inaccurate is kind of astounding

[late vine]

Ah, urban myth then? Guess that sort of thing propagates very easily, since it sounds an interesting and plausible explanation

[random skiff]

I think the term here is "apocryphal", which basically means a widely accepted story that's probably not true.
oh for sure it sounds legitimate. Like Newton and the apple.

[rugged lava]

Newtons apple totally sounds like a fabrication

He saw it hit the ground probably

[random skiff]

The story is entirely fictional, none of it is true.

he worked it out by maths and lots of hard work.

Hi how can I send div PC screenshot image to ps5?

[rain dove]

wdym

[ebon stag]

I have a PC screenshot but I don't know how to set it as my cover photo on ps5

[amber horizon]

i'd imagine (I dont own a ps5, so this may be incorrect) that you can send that screenshot to your phone, and use the playstation app to do it

[ebon stag]

Oh ok thanks I'll try it thanks

[amber horizon]

again, if it doesnt work, i've never owned a ps5 and i dont know what the playstation app is capable of so i might be completely wrong

[ebon stag]

Np thanks man

I'll give it a go but have a playlist of stuff first.
been getting back into LP recently after I found a new underground track I hadn't heard before.

LP being Linkin Park in this case.

[eternal gulch]

ive got all the linkin park stuff

[random skiff]

I've got the actual albums too, but between the releases they put out unfinished/ill fitting tracks and some of them are pretty great.
with how long I've been listening to them for, I'm shocked I still found unheard material in 2023.

[pearl basalt]

Is anyone Listen Phonk Music ?

Depends what kind

Anyone doing anything special on Thanksgiving or are we playing division.

You don't wanna know.

[dawn raft]

Half-Life is now free on Steam until the 20th.

[sour moon]

Dang 20 mins too early to job interview

Lets hope the person interviewing me is available right now

[random skiff]

You're better off showing up early than late. Some people see that as a good sign for potential employees to go "above and beyond".

just take the time to check your appearance or whatever.

[sour moon]

Lol id love to but doubt the sore has bathroom + the employees got me sitting down in visible view of customers and other employees

[random skiff]

Oh then easy, practice breathing techniques. And if you have gum, now would be the time to get rid of it.
no reason to go in flustered or stressed out more than the base level of interviews give you.

question:does anyone play uno without stacking +2 and +4

this deck acts like its a brand new idea like lol

like 80% of these new “rules” are how people play uno normally

only new things are the +10 cards and function cards

[cyan lake]

Just finished RE:2 remake and man was a good game and it even jump scared me a few times and now I have ptsd from when someone says X I just think of that behemoth

[frigid trail]

I like the Original RE games

The older games

I remember playing RE 1.5(it was scrapped when it was 80% complete) and it had zombie gorillas in it

[hoary harbor]

Never understood the hate for re3 remake I enjoyed it tbh

[sacred snow]

it just feels like a significant downgrade in content compared to og re3 or re2r

honestly it feels more like a re2r dlc

[hoary harbor]

The hospital was very well done imo

And the dodge mechanic was fun

I don't think I ever got past the final boss on inferno it's absolutely wild

[frigid trail]

i did

it took alot of paitence and over 6 hours

[cyan lake]

Well just tried to do the gunslinger challenge in re:2 remake and it's brutal and decided to give up on it and instead I'll try to speedrun the whole story as claire to get the A rank for completing the game in 5 hours or less and just reached the second boss fight of william birkin so

[proper lodge]

crashes through the ceiling

[cyan lake]

update: got an S+ for beating the whole re2:remake as claire and it filled me with excitement cause the phase 2 and 4 fight's we're so annoying mostly the second phase cause had to hit that thing with the crane TWICE to go down

[hoary harbor]

I could never beat re2 remake on anything above A

Re3 was a cakewalk to s rank tho cuz coins and short length

[cyan lake]

Well I had to watch a whole ass speedrun of someone doing it while I tried to do mine so I can know how to do it and just realized to get the info te ammo rpg and minigun I gotta do Claire run again to get the minigun and then do Leon for the rpg

[hoary harbor]

Doesn't that limit your rank

[hoary harbor]

I went to this rsn event they had going on recently and got to dry fire a hk416 it was the coolest thing ever

[cyan lake]

well if i want to become the re;2 version of the doom slayer then i will go and get all the infinite ammo gun's and now all i need is the infinite smg,minigun and rpg and im heading to get both the minigun and smg here so

and bro the zombie don't get knocked when i shot them in the head once

update: i gave up on the hardcore run

[frozen sparrow]

which is why you can shoot their legs off

[cyan lake]

no, i just stopped when i reached the G1 fight

[analog shadow]

One easy one is that Mr X feels more like Nemesis than Nemesis

Re3 is the one re remake that was a downgrade from the original

[random skiff]

Those aren't rose tinted glasses, they're rose dipped with extra blinders on.

[frozen sparrow]

nope lol

[random skiff]

I've gone through the originals and the remakes of said originals.
(and also the new one, which is great and a fantastic update in almost every respect)

3 is in no way a downgrade to the OG 3rd.

[frozen sparrow]

let's see
underutilising one of gaming's most iconic villains and turning him into an easily beaten chump who hands out upgrades
cutting the RNG elements to certain progression items
cutting the clock tower and factory
cutting the decision making moments
cutting the Grave Worm boss
dropping the limb disabling from RE2make

[frozen sparrow]

only you

[random skiff]

Well I spilled someone's cereal.

[frigid trail]

Rivens tsk tsk

Be more careful 🤣

[cyan lake]

Well at least I know which re game I'm getting and it's the re4 remake for umm...Leon and definitely not for Ashley

why aren't there image permissions in this channel?

[random skiff]

What are you trying to post pictures of in the off-topic channel?

[amber horizon]

Because this channel would become a meme pit, which we dont want to have. If you have images you want to share, use #ask-td2-community or #td2-build-advice , assuming they are related to TD2

[dawn raft]

i wanted to post a picture of an Armored Core i built and painted as a Last Man Battalion reference

[random skiff]

If it's a div2 related fanart thing, you are welcome to post it over in #fanart-and-photomode
as long as it's div2 related.

[modest pebble]

:)

[dawn raft]

why isn't there a meme pit, anyway?

[amber horizon]

Because we do not want to have one.

[modest pebble]

Because idiots will post the most vile and stupid shit possible (its true im the idiot)

[solemn sparrow]

Interesting

[proper lodge]

I have half a mind to paint the Hunter insignia on one of my builds in AC6.

[slender gulch]

nvm

[random skiff]

@dawn raft We've had people post Roblox designs in there before, as long as it's directly div2 related, you're good.

[dawn raft]

Armored Core is not Roblox

wait, i already posted it here
damn

[amber horizon]

She knows armored core isnt roblox. She's saying "We've had people post (stuff from other games) in there before, so as long as it is directly div2 related, its fine"

TL:DR the precedent is there for other games, thats why the fanart and photomode channel exists. As long as it is something you've made that is related to div2, even in another game, its good.

[sour moon]

Rip 22 mph wind with blue sky and light rain

[shy vine]

Wasn't planning to read 'Armored Core is not Roblox' today, but here we are

[modest pebble]

what

armoured core is like mech fighting by fromsoft no?

its old

late 1990's early 2000's mech game

[analog shadow]

Does he know?

[analog shadow]

Also read above my guy you are taking that out of context

[modest pebble]

there is no context

lol that is his only statement

it was stated above that armoured core is not roblox

[modest pebble]

did roblox made an adaptation or something

[amber horizon]

no, might have been referencing the fact that Armored Core 6 is not from 1990s/early2000s

[modest pebble]

well yea there's probably new ones but like the franchise started in the early 2000's

[analog shadow]

@modest pebble

The context in question

The guy was just talking about stuff earlier in chat

[modest pebble]

"Wasn't planning to read 'Armored Core is not Roblox' today, but here we are" - Krwztof
this would im imply that statement is wrong

or off etc

[analog shadow]

My man are you good?

He was just commenting on chat saying weird things

[modest pebble]

saying armoured core is not roblox is weird?

[analog shadow]

Yes

That is in fact a weird thing to say

[modest pebble]

why

my suppose to be what

and i would assume your saying that statement is incorrect

[analog shadow]

Because they aren’t similar at all, you are looking way too far into this for a guy just chilling

[modest pebble]

thats why i asked?

[analog shadow]

You seem to be confusing yourself

[modest pebble]

no one was looking into it mate i was confused as to why he said that, i asked what he meant and said "armoured core is like mech fighting by fromsoft no?"

the relation to roblox made no sense im asking why its a weird statement

[analog shadow]

It was explained above when you asked thats why I said you took it out of context

It had already been talked about

[modest pebble]

the guy sent 1 message

lol

[analog shadow]

Right here, please read context next time I don’t have enough energy to continue

[modest pebble]

i wasnt asking you to explain his statement to me brother, i was asking what was weird about saying armoured core isnt roblox. its a simple statement and answer idk see the point of being passive aggersive about context mate

i dont even know why you joined the conversion lol the question wasnt directed at you

[amber horizon]

"armored core is not roblox" isnt wierd its just true, they are different games, whats up with you moth wtf

I know what you mean, my local bakery stopped stocking vegemite scrolls.

[sacred snow]

ima say something weird

cold milk with ice is somehow better than cold milk

[proper lodge]

And my college basically prevented me from getting a job contract extension with the government due to their incompetence.

[hoary harbor]

I was halfway through watching into the badlands on Amazon and it disappeared 😭

[hoary harbor]

Warm milk and cookies is the best shit

[neat merlin]

I was never breastfeed but I do love sweet low in my warm milk (just two packets) right before bed. Especially on bad days. Something about warm milk i swear. My grandpa used to talk about how he had fresh warm milk as a kid, not the cold store bought kind. Sure do miss the days he was around to tell me about his good old days. Anyone misses their folks. My grandparents were the best. I bet everyone has someone that meant the world to them. Game's good for distraction, surely was disappointed when I found out my other character gets same SHD once you complete WONY.

[whole igloo]

Huh why did they decide you are incomeptant. Isnt that supposed to be judged by your employer than your college?

[amber horizon]

they didnt decide farry was incompetent- farry wanted to get a job contract extension, but (i assume) the college didnt do the paperwork, so no extension for farry. Farry is calling their college incompetent

[proper lodge]

What Aspect said. They kept telling me it was secure, but after digging around with my supervisor, it was anything but. The government HR wasn't willing to process anymore requests.

If there's anyone on here who has yet to play the old xbox Halo games, The Masterchief Collection is currently $10 USD ($15 AUD)
not my cup of tea, but there's a few good moments in there for how many games you get.
same as the Legendary Mass Effect edition. ($18 aud). That one I can recommend all 3.

[hoary harbor]

Halo 3: ODST is severely overlooked everyone seems to be all over the original trilogy

[amber horizon]

ah, not really? ODST and Reach were both very good games and i often get ppl saying to play Reach/ODST over others, even original trilogy

[hoary harbor]

ODST and Reach are my personal favourites

[frozen sparrow]

ODST is easily stronger than 2, 3 and 4

just started playin underatle again after getting the true pacifist ending and now im going to get it again cause im not touching the genocide path here

[cyan lake]

came back and now i wanna know where do i find other undertale AU game's here?

[shy vine]

question if i buy lets say a ryzen 7 5800X and if my motherboard supports 5000 series, the X metric isnt an issue right?

[rain dove]

The x in the name of the CPU means "marketing"

[sacred snow]

iirc it means it supports overclocking

at least thats how it is with laptops

[sacred snow]

usually so,ask your retailer for that

[split axle]

Naa there used to be a bit more to X like KF/K in Intel SKU

[supple marsh]

for amd its just marketing

[split axle]

Yeah but at least there is a bit of difference unlike Intel where they are days and night apart

[rain dove]

There wasn't

They were virtually identical and always have been

[split axle]

X models still have higher base and boost clocks

And TDP

[rain dove]

The performance differences are like 5%

Which is ridiculously negligible

[split axle]

Never said about performance difference but you can overclock/overvolt non X series to X but that will void the warranty

So that is artificial segmentation

[rain dove]

If you overclock nobody cares about warranty regardless

[split axle]

At best

[split axle]

BTW how do you like My new name

[rain dove]

I don't get it

[split axle]

My name ?

[rain dove]

Yes

[split axle]

Can't you see 5.11?

[rain dove]

It says 511

[split axle]

There it is better now

[rain dove]

I thought it was some emergency number ngl

[split axle]

911

[slender gulch]

yes

very healthy

[sacred snow]

i got a new laptop from lenovo today

its way better than my old one,but its also like super good on its own

[split axle]

AMD or Intel? With Rtx 4050 or 4060?

[sacred snow]

rtx 4060.i really wanted to go cheap with a 3070ti but i cant find one.
i7 13700h.i really dont like intel specially because of them just chewing through battery like crazy and the igpu just gets obliterated by amd

like sure for gaming intel is better than amd(cuz it eats more power and also creates more heat)

[split axle]

Yeah I am waiting for them to launch meteor lake

[sacred snow]

but i plan to bring this laptop to college and shit

and you cant always find a wall plug

[split axle]

Otherwise I am going with AMD

[sacred snow]

go intel if you're a hardcore esports player but amd is just better in many other ways,battery,performance on battery,you get the gist

also im not sure if you can use fsr without an amd component

dlss is cool but i kinda want a second choice

[split axle]

You can use fsr but xess is superior

And is cross platform

[sacred snow]

ive had minimum experience with xess but in remnant 2 they are better than fsr

[split axle]

Intel has general better software stacks

Except in game drivers

[sacred snow]

xess gave out similar frame rates for less pixelated graphics

[split axle]

Also the fact that dedicated Xess is superior

[sacred snow]

but then again its because my old laptop has a gen 4 ryzen

[split axle]

My old laptop had a i5-8250u

And Mx150

[sacred snow]

pretty sure current gen ryzen has an igpu that is almsot comparable to a laptop 1650

[split axle]

Yeah Intel said there new upcoming GPUs are in the same league but I don't doubt them on compute part of GPU but in game drivers part

[sacred snow]

intel arc was a cool thing

[split axle]

It has few good features but the driver support kills it sometimes for old titles

[sacred snow]

idk the pricing but for their first attempt you can get something close to a desktop 3060 in a mini pc

[split axle]

The price is nice cause the flagship part is selling for 260$ rn

[sacred snow]

nvidia just needs to get their shit together tbh

4000 series kinda sucks on laptops

i mean they are better than 3000,but not that big of a gap

[split axle]

4000 series are quite nice on laptop tbh except for 4070

The desktop is meh but

[sacred snow]

i got the 4060 just because it has 8gbs of vram and i already went overboard with my budget

[split axle]

So 1200-1300?

[sacred snow]

around that yea

add in taxes and its like 100 more

[split axle]

Dayum I am waiting for

[whole igloo]

Division needs fsr,dlss,

[sacred snow]

i already bought mine but i hope next year nvidia releases a laptop 4060ti with 10-12gbs of vram

amd gives you a shit load of vram,so much so that they're not even relevant

[split axle]

Yeah

[sacred snow]

a 6700m performs slightly better than a 3060,worse than a 3070 but it has 8gbs of vram

a 6800m has 12 iirc

you would never really use up all 12 gbs of vram

[split axle]

Totally depends on resolution

But nvidia has few other usage

[sacred snow]

the power gap between nvidia and amd is still kinda big

and once you even reach the resolution to use all 12gbs of vram then the actual gpu becomes a limitation

[split axle]

I am talking about other usecases such as rendering and AI/ML

In which Nvidia dominates

[sacred snow]

4k gaming isn't realistic but in a world where developers tell you to just use dlss/fsr to justify for the terrible optimization

[split axle]

That is bad tbh

[sacred snow]

oh yea that,well nvidia just has more money

[sacred snow]

we've had plenty of examples this year and i hate that its becoming a trend

[split axle]

Well I am amazed how Intel lost in everything from the mighty Titan cause of 2 bad CEOS

[sacred snow]

jedi survivor,remnant 2,alan wake 2

[split axle]

Yeah lol

[sacred snow]

14th gen seems mid tbh

a minisule 2-5% increase compared to 13900k iirc

[split axle]

It is 13th gen with a better bin

[sacred snow]

intel HQ would explode if they name it HZ or something

[stark yoke]

accuracy or stability

[sacred snow]

mostly irrelevant

[split axle]

Why not both use weapon handling

[random skiff]

What gun is it for?

[stark yoke]

already do

[sacred snow]

@split axle https://youtu.be/iW7QL6sKQ2w?si=TCJOveaxl_CQx0WI this is what i was talking about earlier

[split axle]

The problem is Intel's RnD Budget is more than NVIDIA and AMD combined

[stark yoke]

but putting more accuracy and stability wastes mod spots

[stark yoke]

assault rifles mainly

[sacred snow]

which is fuckin insane ikr

[split axle]

You should use CHC mods for all weapons except shotgun where accuracy mods

[sacred snow]

and they still cant solve the battery problem

[stark yoke]

chc?

[sacred snow]

its always the laptop that has to support the battery and not the other way around

hey intel,maybe not lock undervolting behind another paywall with an X in the name

[random skiff]

@stark yoke The one exception to this is the magazine size needs to be as big as possible.
chc = critical hit chance.

[stark yoke]

thank you

[split axle]

Yeah

[sacred snow]

amd just does way more for way better cost most of the time

[split axle]

But their designs are power hungry

[sacred snow]

it only really loses out if something is specifically tuned to intel

like the 780m igpu on amd's zen 4 cpus beat a 1650

[split axle]

Not really the only way amd losses is when Intel uses more power

[split axle]

Ik

[sacred snow]

a gaming laptop 3 years ago uses a 1650

[split axle]

I have a 4 year gaming laptop with MX150 on which I played division 2

[sacred snow]

mx150 is ancient wtf

how many fps

also how tf does a laptop classify as gaming

with a mx150

[split axle]

It doesn't but yeah It cost me 600$

Without windows

[sacred snow]

huh

ah well its dirt cheap back then i guess

i think 600 bucks can get you a 3050 now

on a good sale maybe a low powered 4050

also side note:stay away from hp victus

[split axle]

Yeah 4 years is a lot of time

[sacred snow]

their hinge just snaps if it feels like it

lik genuinely you just let it sit there and after a year or something they just cracks

[split axle]

My hinges are intact

[sacred snow]

its RNG lol

[sacred snow]

thats cuz whatever brand you used has proper quality control

[split axle]

It can happen with any laptop even a MacBook

[split axle]

Lenovo

[sacred snow]

ive heard stories about lenovo hinges being hit or miss

[split axle]

Well I had to put +16GB stick in my laptop

[sacred snow]

ah yea the yoga ones

[split axle]

To make it 20GB cause 4 was soldered

[split axle]

Yoga 😂

[sacred snow]

i swear lenovo is just one of those things in life that just doesn't feel right

they make these insanely high products with good prices,and they're a chinese tech company that doesn't get boycotted as chinese spyware

its like waking up early in a sunday

[split axle]

Yeah except they are in special reign of Hong Kong and they have been accused of spying

[sacred snow]

every company is accused of spyware

like,on a daily basis

you know how US just bans huawei

[split axle]

anti competitive if it is an us company

[split axle]

Yeah

[sacred snow]

every company takes and uses your data one way or another

so worrying yourself about being spied on while using a windows laptop is....yea

[split axle]

There are few who who just minimize it

[sacred snow]

i only knew this when i started looking for a laptop

[split axle]

Like proton

[sacred snow]

yea of course not all are bad

but its a generalization

[split axle]

Lol windows is a telemetry feature more than a os nowadays

Good old window 7/xp days

Btw you can disable many telemetry and data collection

[sacred snow]

i mean its definitely possible

but it might come with a catch so for now im fine

maybe ill do it one day when im really bored

and preferably not using a chinese brand

you know i almost settled for an msi laptop

it has roughly the same specs,but double the ram

the screen has perfect color gamut and shit but its capped at 60hz

the build is plastic which i dont mind

[split axle]

Plastic is what you are going to get for the price

[sacred snow]

but the deal breaker was that the battery is like 50w

[split axle]

50Whr

[sacred snow]

yea thanks

[split axle]

That is too low

[sacred snow]

it lasts like 4 hours in the wild

[split axle]

But mine came with 35Whr

And lasted for like 5 hrs web browsing and stuff

[sacred snow]

if it had a slighty better battery like a 60-70whr one then i would just go for it

[sacred snow]

thats pretty good optimization

[split axle]

You can customise the TDP tbh

[sacred snow]

by going into the bios

[split axle]

U series processor btw it was the first quad core from Intel in 15W segment

[split axle]

Their command centre

[sacred snow]

oh that also explains it

oh right its msi

ah well you get what you pay for

[split axle]

Set it to like 25/30 for pl1 and pl2

Lenovo vantage

If you are using Lenovo

[sacred snow]

yea ik bout the lenovo one

[split axle]

If it is a gaming laptop it must have option to set custom power profile for CPU and gpu

[sacred snow]

the base battery with the refresh rate swap holds up to like 6 horus in my version iirc

[split axle]

Yeah but it's not 100% Intel's fault some of them is OEMs fault

Cause I have seen some model to have good battery life on notebookcheck.net

It totally depends how they configure it

[sacred snow]

yea definitely

the comparison was mostly intel vs amd for battery life

[split axle]

Amd would win 90% of the time

[sacred snow]

if its the oem's fault then its not intels fault

[split axle]

With respect to current models

[split axle]

It is somewhat their fault too

[sacred snow]

the only reason im really annoyed by it is because the amd version is 100 bucks less and it ran out of stocks

[split axle]

They can easily force OEMs to improve device battery life

[split axle]

Tham any one would be annoyed

@sacred snow let's take the chat private I have too much stuff to share if you have time

Cause we can't send attachment here

[sacred snow]

sure why not

[slender gust]

How I can find my ram brand on my pc?

[modest pebble]

Hit windows key > type cmd > right click on top option > run as administrator > paste this command in: wmic memorychip get devicelocator, manufacturer > thatll tell you the brand of all ram sticks.

If you wanna check the specs
Hit windows key (you can also right click on your task bar) > task manager > performance tab > memory > speed is on the right side of that screen. (will be in MHz)

if you wanna know cas latency or something like that Download CPU-Z and itll tell you everything you could possible want to know

[split axle]

Just use Hwinfo

[cyan lake]

ok so...any idea of how can i defeat G1 in re 2 remake without using a knife here? cause i don't got one

nvm i got it but i will still need help for the G2 and G3 fight

cuase im playing hardcore

[frozen sparrow]

just don’t get grabbed

[cyan lake]

well the first one i had to greande him twice, flash bang him cause i got grabbed and shoot his eye

but it's gonna be tricky to make him stay still when i get to the crane that has the container on it

[cyan lake]

yeah...might try later maybe to continue

cuase man i hate that i have to use only 3 save's to get the AT4 for playing hardcore as leon and get a S+

[hoary sedge]

Ok got a email from ubi support for account recovery (it’s linked to a email I made when I was a kid and I no longer have access in any way shape or form to said email) and they told me they sent a 20 diget code to the email I can’t get into, anyone got any tips?….please?

[modest pebble]

that works too

I would have just said use CPU-Z but wanted to give option that doesnt require installing things

[random skiff]

@cyan lake cod mw2 vs re4 remake, the latter is probably going to be better value overall. It's an excellent game and has quite a lot of content to go through.
just make sure that you like survival horror, but actiony.

[cyan lake]

well i did start with RE 7 as my first residen evil game here so

[random skiff]

It's very different. It's kinda a shooter with survival elements, unlike 7 which is a lot closer to Outlast.

[hoary harbor]

7 is terrifying

[crisp tangle]

Anyone able to help me build a Discord like

I just don't get how these bots work and I just want to make a functional server. I'm asking for help please

[shy vine]

On the subject of other games, playing Vigor gives me hope that Heartland will be somewhat decent
I think the time of extraction shooters should've passed at this point, but apparently it just keeps going so we're going to have to live with it

[simple onyx]

Got pushed into the new "beta" ubisoft connect interface. Is it me or can you no longer start in your game library anymore? Instead you're forced onto their homepage of ads

[random skiff]

You can swap back to the old version, there's a button at the upper right hand side of the main page.

the old version still has the option to start on "Games" up the top of Settings.

[simple onyx]

No such button for me. Top-right of the page just has "provide feedback" and "subscribe to ubisoft+" button. I got around it for now by creating a desktop shortcut to the EXE, but I'd rather just have a way to choose where it launches to, even if it's a command line parameter.

[random skiff]

Swap back to the standard version, then follow my steps.
it's not there on the beta one.

[simple onyx]

There is no option to swap back to the standard version

[random skiff]

There's a button at the top of your screen. It says "standard / beta"
click standard.

[simple onyx]

no, there isn't

[random skiff]

I'm looking at it right now. I'll pm it to you.

[simple onyx]

the only things at the top of the screen are Home, Provide feedback and Subscribe to Ubisoft+

[random skiff]

pm'd

Very odd that it wasn' in your version and was in mine.

[simple onyx]

For anyone else coming across this convo, I do not have the beta/standard toggle, whereas Rivens does.

Regardless, if anyone from Ubi reads this, give us the option to select which page to start on.

[cobalt merlin]

it's fcked up you have to pay for the game and then pay for the end game

normally you'd called the base version demo

or the expansion update

[amber horizon]

balanced out by the near constant sales

[analog shadow]

I think personally its fine if a game does this if the game doesn’t remain full priced and if the game isn’t releasing constant paid dlcs and paid content (destiny 2)

[hoary harbor]

Wony is virtually always on sale for great prices so it's fine

[random skiff]

Been getting into Darktide recently, surprising amount of fun.

[hoary harbor]

I've heard good things about the new dead space remake so I picked it up and went in blind

[late vine]

Replaying Red Alert 2 (in a virtual machine since it won't run on modern windows) for the nostalgia value. Cheesiest cutscenes ever, I love it.

[split axle]

Playing god of war on ppspp emulator on Android

[hoary harbor]

I have a OnePlus 11 and don't get above 30fps in ppsspp for some reason

[split axle]

Ahh yeah have to mess with settings to get it stable I got 30fps in m31

[hoary harbor]

Even on stuff like aethersx2 it stays at like 50 fps only

[hallow elk]

today I turn 16

[cyan lake]

oh nice, happy birthday bro

[hallow elk]

thank u

[cyan lake]

also does anyone got some good recomendation's as in what are sme good free games on steam?

[frozen sparrow]

travel back in time to last week and get Half-Life

[cyan lake]

ok and how do i do that

[late vine]

a large cylinder with the approximate mass and density of a neutron star that's been spinning at a good fraction of the speed of light for at least a week

shouldn't be too hard to find

[rain dove]

What

[severe ridge]

Do you think they'll open a channel in the discord for The Division Resergence? They made one for heartlands, or is this a PC/Console based server, I got a beta test invite, I actually really like the Division Mobile, I've gotten to play both the First and Second Divisions and I feel that mobile carries it on, although it's odd to hear my Agent actually speak now

[random skiff]

There's a TDresurgence discord, just google "TDresurgence discord".
I can send you an invite if you can't find it, via PM's.

[severe ridge]

Ooooo

I did, but it brought me here ngl, ain't complaining cause I like the PC games

[severe ridge]

Oh, well I only found that it was only available via messages during the closed alpha

Nothing pops in google

[cursive galleon]

is there a work around to make purchases on iOS for resurgence ?

[severe ridge]

Only if you're Android

[cursive galleon]

Sigh lame

[severe ridge]

Well

The prices are really bad ngl

[calm swallow]

what is the division resurgence exactly

[sacred snow]

Ik its not steam but currently AC Syndicate is free on uplay

Its one of the AC games of all time

Cooler than division Sparta edition

[analog shadow]

Mobile division game

[hoary harbor]

Syndicate was quite nice

[sour moon]

How long do yall think avatar will be supported for? 1 year or 4+ years like division 2

[random skiff]

It all depends on how it does on release.

[cursive galleon]

New division beta for mobile. So good YouTube it.

[analog shadow]

Probably 1 year

[cyan lake]

Well I just checked Twitter and apparently sonic 3 will come on December 20 here. And holy hell we had saw X, the fanf movie and now sonic 3? Man this is a good year

[rain dove]

Hasn't sonic 3 been out for like 20 years

[random skiff]

3rd movie in the series.

the live-action series, not the weird 90's anime one.

[cyan lake]

yeah, and the fact that jim carrey will not be in the movie is a sadge moment

[rain dove]

OH

[rain dove]

i thought mate meant the video game 😭

[random skiff]

27.5 years too late for that one.

[cyan lake]

Idk why but Undertale song memory always makes me wanna go back to the good years

[rain dove]

i prefer death by glamour

[grim frigate]

its some straight bs that Mario Bros Wonder is a GOTY nominee but not Armored Core VI

I aint even saying Wonder is bad but fundamentally it's just a super mario bros game like it's not that impressive

Game has been out for like a month too what even

Could say the same about Alan Wake but atleast Alan Wake was anticipated for 13 years

[cyan lake]

Well it's Nintendo so ofc either a link game, pokemon or a Mario game will be goty here

[sour moon]

Bruh slept for 9+ hours last night and woke up with a headache

[wanton dune]

Anyone play Lethal Company?

[frigid trail]

Fun game

More fun with 4 idiots who don't know what they are doing 😅😂

[wanton dune]

You play it?

Autocorrect

[frigid trail]

Yea I do

[wanton dune]

I’m trying to play it with someone but there’s no discord for the game haha. Would you be down possibly?

[frigid trail]

Uhhh I play on pc

[wanton dune]

It’s not on console haha

I have a ps and pc

I only have ps role because I don’t play div2 on pc

[frigid trail]

It's more fun with 4 or more people

Especially when you don't know what to do

[wanton dune]

That is true

I’ve only played it with Aspect and it was still hella fun

[supple marsh]

bracken my beloved

[frigid trail]

Spent most of last night tryna teach my 3 friends how to play I swear a toddler could follow my instruction better then they could felt like I was babysitting 9 year olds😂

[wanton dune]

Hahaha they sound so slow

[wanton dune]

Do you want to play it?

[frigid trail]

They have a attention span of peanut

I modded it

Plan to get to get 8 of us to play

Wonder how 8 players would turn out

[wanton dune]

Jesus 8 players is insane

[frigid trail]

I've seen people play with 8 people I believe smi7y and his friends did a video with 8 players

[supple marsh]

not atm

[sacred snow]

If i have a nickel for everytime a silly horror game with astronauts become a top hit of the year i will have 2 nickels

[wanton dune]

What’s the second game?

[frigid trail]

Among us

I think

[sacred snow]

Blud was living under a stone for 3 years lol

[frigid trail]

I only play like 3 games I don't keep track of other games the only 2 Astronaut games ik is among us and lethal company

[frigid trail]

That stone was more affordable then most houses

And it was comfy only paid 2200 for it

[sacred snow]

Not you

The other guy

[sacred snow]

I live under a box

Its like 5 bucks

[wanton dune]

I thought you were talking about this year my bad lmao

[sacred snow]

All cool

[wanton dune]

Would you like to play lethal company

It’s so hard finding people with no discord for it haha

[sacred snow]

I would but im currently on a trip rn

[peak shoal]

they not updating dmz in cod anymore whats the point in carrying on

[analog shadow]

Dmz mid anyways

It was fun for a first few months and that was it

[shy vine]

hi there people

[sacred snow]

Its because ATVI does not update it whatsoever

Up the enemy density and add seasonal events

Like it should get shit like Shadow Siege as a seasonal event

[grim frigate]

it's almost like the focus is on the actual game people pay for instead of Raven's bullshit developing for once

[shy vine]

i should play siege again

[sacred snow]

Then why tf even make it in the first place😭
Just make normal spec ops dear god

[peak shoal]

(please dont up the enemy density theres 400 billion bots and theyre all annoying when ur doing pvp)

[hoary harbor]

I miss traditional spec ops

[sacred snow]

idk i think it can work in dmz

[hoary harbor]

Tbh bots in DMZ are already broken asf laser accuracy and all

[analog shadow]

I love the nighttime spec op mission in mw22
The raids weren’t half bad but after the second one I stopped doing them because it was the same location again and again

[sacred snow]

I feel like what dmz tried is the pseudo milsim immersion open world shooter

[hoary harbor]

Yeah the problem I had with the raid is the setting is so boring after a while
