lol

That's really one of the slides ever

[bitter portal]

aw man the sons of the forest looks fun to play

[neon scroll]

Kinda worth it tbh

[slate thorn]

For sure, it's a super good game

[placid otter]

gonna hope it gets on sale between then and now

oh it never has thought it did

[slate thorn]

I think because it's early access it won't go on sale?

[placid otter]

probably, but its been a long time since so thought it did in the past, but guess im wrong

[valid lava]

yes it broke steam as soon as it came out cuz of the traffic

[sand mural]

i rmb using a m0d to make the caves in the first one bright af

only way i would traverse them

[smoky imp]

since when was the forest so popular wtf

[sand mural]

isnt it part of like the first wave of popular survival games

[smoky imp]

probably but i didn't think it was that popular

[copper pagoda]

i started sons of the forest last night but didn’t get too far. the building is much worse than the first one imo and my game crashed a few times which caused me to lose all my inventory :p

[smoky imp]

that's why we don't buy games at release anymore

they never get a game properly done

[glass knot]

The forest is somewhat fun with friends

But then again while playing it I just felt it was Minecraft but worse

Still had a good time cause it isn't a bad game

[valid lava]

a bit hard to figure out what to actually do
tend to forget theres an actual purpose in the game

Interesting read
https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/multiversus-player-drop-what-went-wrong/

[glass knot]

Yeah I played it at launch and it was pretty fun for a bit

But the lack of polish certainly shows

Only free to play fighter I'm confident in actually working is Project L simply because Riot has tons of experience on this model, and devs on the game are very experienced and passionate about fighting games in general

But that's a long way from now still

[dry gale]

Man Hogwarts legacy is unoptimised af

Pretty hefty game

Frames drops to 1 suddenly then back to 60

[worldly tangle]

other than performance Hogwarts Legacy is sure RPG of the RPG game

[slate thorn]

For me turning off raytracing fixed almost all performance issues

[dry gale]

for me turning on FSR 2 to performance almost fixed the issues

I saw people have uploaded fixed configs for hogwarts legacy in nexus mods website

might try one and will see if that fixes the problem

[warm pumice]

I wasn’t having problems before the update dropped but going to check my settings

I was able to enjoy it at launch so it was gg for me

[smoky imp]

i went back to playing skyrim

[fallow vessel]

oh yeah I still have the bugged savefile

[smoky imp]

immediately robbed the campanions

[fallow vessel]

accidentaly found the last dungeon in the questline for the unique crysstal armor from that pirate captain

there is one master lock and after that there is a door that can only be unlocked with a key

I unlocked the first one and my wax key perk triggered which meant I could open the second door as well

meaning I have a quest marker to the first piece of the armor but the armor doesn't exist there because technically I finished the last step of the quest

also kleptomancy is a serious issue of mine in every RPG

[smoky imp]

mood

but sounds like you somehow soft locked yourself out of this oof

and i guess you can't go to another save file

i wonder what the best house in skyrim is

[dry gale]

Bruh Hogwarts legacy getting laggy

Idk how others running it smoothly in 8 GB Ram with the same configuration as mine while I can't

It has serious memory leakage issue

Better they give out a patch already

I can't with this 1 fps drop

[slate thorn]

Do you have anything running in the background? I guess others with 8gb only have the game open and not a single other thing

[warm pumice]

Are you playing on desktop or on a laptop?

[dry gale]

Laptop

[warm pumice]

With 16gb,I just have the game and maybe Spotify running in the background

[neon scroll]

If your game requires that it's still shitty optimization and needs patching

[warm pumice]

When the game dropped,there was one side that didn’t have problems and ones that did,when the patch dropped,it flipped the sides

[dry gale]

Turned off everything except Vanguard, nvidia control panel, windows security

[neon scroll]

It's not like this game is s graphical benchmark of current year next gen graphics

[warm pumice]

I wasn’t having problems and only new a few people that had problems,patched ruined it for me

[dry gale]

I hate games when they release with a shitty optimisation

[neon scroll]

So it really shouldn't act as such

[warm pumice]

Why don’t you upgrade RAM?

[dry gale]

Maybe next month

Every games have run perfectly fine for me until this

[warm pumice]

That’s me with Destiny 2,I just uninstalled it

You tried reinstalling it?

[dry gale]

That Ascendio II.0 mod and FSR 2 Ultra Performance is somewhat making the game to run better

[warm pumice]

Well that’s good then

[dry gale]

Atleast 50 fps

[warm pumice]

50 you’ll be fine

[dry gale]

Imagine your game has shitty optimisation that your community has to fix the issues for you

[dry gale]

It drops frames in cutscenes and rarely in some parts

[warm pumice]

People I know don’t have problems with it so it is what it is

Upgrade time maybe

[slate thorn]

I mean, 8gb is not that much for a 2023 game

[dry gale]

It suddenly drops in cutscenes and back to normal

My game running at 640x480 resolution

[slate thorn]

Like, 8gb has kind of been the minimum for like, 10 years now? So there comes a point when 8gb minimum for gaming just won't really cut it anymore

[dry gale]

Or the frame drops and issues are also due to this new nvidia graphics drivers?

[warm pumice]

8gb is like driving with the low gas sign on 😭

There was a new nvidia update?

[slate thorn]

8 feb was last nvidia update it seems

[dry gale]

Yes

That's what is my 1650 is running on

[warm pumice]

You got a 1650 too?

Lit

[slate thorn]

laptop 1650? That's kinda oof yeah

[warm pumice]

I got a Acer Nitro 5,1650Ti with 16gb and 120hz

It does the job for me so I’m straight with it 🦇🫡

[dry gale]

Me with legion 5 1650 and 8 GB graphics with same refresh rate

[slate thorn]

My laptop 1650 was already struggling a little bit with games like 1.5 years ago

[warm pumice]

Honestly,you’re gonna have to upgrade

For the ram

You wilding

[dry gale]

Yes the Ram is what stopping me

[slate thorn]

At least ram upgrade on Legion 5 is easy :)

[warm pumice]

I don’t play much newer titles,so the updates are already there

[dry gale]

I thought you would take a thermal metal and then insert it and then put it back?

[warm pumice]

Hogwarts Legacy is the only new title I bought on it,old recent title is Metro Exodus and Maybe Destiny 2 since DLC dropping and stuff

[slate thorn]

Yeah, it's underneath this metal shield thing when you open it up iirc

[dry gale]

Also the game is in HDD

I have been playing new titles and none of them gave me problems

[warm pumice]

You can have a SSD installed as well right?

[slate thorn]

That can cause fps drops as well, because of stuff not loading fast enough

upgrading to 16gb ram should be a nice upgrade though for sure :)

[dry gale]

Yes but I have only one extra SATA SSD

Also need to dismantle battery during this process

FH5 surprisingly not giving me any fps drops even if it's in HDD

[slate thorn]

FH5 is also super well optimized so that helps

[warm pumice]

Plus it’s been out for quite a while

I can’t run FFXV on my laptop for Jack shit

[dry gale]

But I have noticed the texture loading time is faster in SSD than HDD

[warm pumice]

FPS and Online games are always better with SSD

[dry gale]

I have this one advantage in my laptop which is a MUX Switch

[warm pumice]

But single player/offline games are best with HDD

[slate thorn]

I'm still very happy with my current laptop, one of the best purchases of my life

[warm pumice]

Which one do you have?

[warm pumice]

What’s that

[slate thorn]

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro

Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3070, 32GB ram, 2TB ssd, 165hz 2560x1600p screen

[warm pumice]

Sheesh

Nice

[slate thorn]

And my pc is pretty similar to that lol

[warm pumice]

You do heavy productivity or just use it for casual gaming?

[dry gale]

Switches between whether to use integrated graphics or only dedicated graphics

[slate thorn]

It's basically a desktop replacement for when I'm from home. Mostly gaming, but I also do like picture editing, drawing, light productivity

It's a little overkill, but, that way it should last me longer

[dry gale]

I think Hogwarts legacy actually needs an SSD coz damn the time it takes to load something

[warm pumice]

Like 2-3 minutes?

[warm pumice]

I thought that was a regular setting

[dry gale]

It's hardware setting for me

[warm pumice]

You got a screenshot of it?

[dry gale]

No but 5-10 seconds

[warm pumice]

Bruh

[dry gale]

It just jams at that one frame then suddenly shows everything

[warm pumice]

Oh wait

I thought you meant the loading time for the game

[dry gale]

I wonder why it just can't do texture streaming like FH5

[warm pumice]

Like starting up wise

[dry gale]

The loading time takes 2 minutes

[slate thorn]

Only times the game loads for me is like, sometimes when I want to go through a door it has to load for like half a second

You get the little loading circle on the door

[warm pumice]

I had a pc with better specs but sold it for mobility but it handles the games I play fine and the CAD/CAM software runs fine

[slate thorn]

Longest thing for me is the compiling shaders at the start

[warm pumice]

Yeah,I get that too

Doesn’t bother me as much

[warm pumice]

Yeah,the lag to open the door is like 1-2 seconds

[dry gale]

I got used to it

[warm pumice]

But I don’t let it get to me

[dry gale]

Coz man FH5 loads like 5 minutes

[warm pumice]

Halo Infinite takes a while

Plus,it lets me prep up

[dry gale]

Halo Infinite also actually plays well, the campaign

It doesn't take too much loading

[warm pumice]

I need to finish up the MCC campaign

[slate thorn]

the main ssd in my pc is very overkill

[warm pumice]

I just play the multiplayer

[dry gale]

I think it's just Unreal Engine being hefty

I have both SSD and HDD

[warm pumice]

Infinite rank hits different

[dry gale]

But my SSD is only 75 GB free

[warm pumice]

Especially the fucking holding that damn skull

[warm pumice]

Damn

[dry gale]

Out of 236 GB

[slate thorn]

75gb

[warm pumice]

My laptop came with a 500gb HDD but I put in a 1tb SSD

[dry gale]

Even in that 236 GB I gave 30 GB to Linux

[slate thorn]

my laptop came with 1tb ssd, and I added another 1tb ssd

Since ssd's have actually gotten pretty affordable

[dry gale]

It's legion 5 Pro

[warm pumice]

Yeah,it’s gone down significantly

[slate thorn]

Like, a 1tb nvme ssd here only costs 50 euros now

[warm pumice]

Not mine but general idea of it

Honestly,I think I have 2 ssds then,now that I think about 🤔🧐

Because I realized I don’t got a HDD on it

[dry gale]

I think I need to move this game to SSD I just need to find a way to clear space in my SSD

[slate thorn]

Download more space

[dry gale]

Good old days

[warm pumice]

By going on that suspicious website

[slate thorn]

buy one of those 40tb ssd's from wish for $10

[dry gale]

when I don't have any background processes running

[warm pumice]

You own a external HDD @slate thorn?

[slate thorn]

I don't no

I do have a usb stick if that counts :^)

[warm pumice]

It be like that

With 16gb I got like half of it being used and I still don’t know why

[slate thorn]

It is very cute and tiny

[warm pumice]

Ahh okay,I ask because you mentioned you do productivity on it

Oh nice

[dry gale]

like this Bindows is taking half of my ram

🥹

[slate thorn]

This is it for me with most things closed

Windows slurping up so much ram yeah :(

[dry gale]

RTX

[slate thorn]

[dry gale]

but has anyone ever turned on ray tracing?

[slate thorn]

Yes

So far in most games I played that supports it though the performance drop too big

[dry gale]

just valorant in SSD

[slate thorn]

So I often have it turned off

[warm pumice]

Honestly a reason I never upgraded to 11

[slate thorn]

I don't really notice any ram usage difference between 10 and 11 myself

[dry gale]

umm it's the same ram usage for me even in windows 10

[warm pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-what-more-do-you-want-from-me-sad-tears-cover-face-gif-17064810

[dry gale]

ahh yes two people agreeing on the same thing

actually u can run windows at even low ram

2 GB Ram lite windows

for example, Ghost Spectre OS

[warm pumice]

Interesting

[slate thorn]

I also have 300gb of cloud storage :)

[dry gale]

antimalware service running with 100 mb ram

[dry gale]

me 5 TB 🙂

[slate thorn]

sheeesh

I have 200gb icloud and 100gb google drive

[dry gale]

but I used only 1 GB

I have 5 TB Onedrive

[slate thorn]

I have onedrive as well through school, not sure how big though

I never use it lol

[dry gale]

I have reduced service host processes from 100 to this much

LOL

can I move this there?

Actually nvm

[warm pumice]

@slate thorn you used the Thinkpads before?

[dry gale]

Aiyoo Lenovo fans

I think we have a ThinkPad user here

[smoky imp]

hmmm skyrim suddenly decided to keep all npcs on mute

wtf

[dry gale]

It's normal in gaming

[slate thorn]

I have not used thinkpads myself, but from what I heard, they are really nice

[smoky imp]

[fleet wave]

i use thinkpad for work

[dry gale]

So how is it

[smoky imp]

it worked just before

[fleet wave]

best laptop

[dry gale]

Actually pretty jealous that ThinkPad has a feature that my Legion doesn't have

[fleet wave]

what's that

[dry gale]

Conservation mode and you can set the percentage to 60 or 80

[fleet wave]

oh right

[dry gale]

In legion it's only 60

So I have to charge myself to 80

Pain

[fleet wave]

i just charge it full

[warm pumice]

Nice

Oh shit,forgot Legion is by Lenovo,tweaked out fr

[dry gale]

SSD writing speed is so good

[warm pumice]

Was gonna ask if they use the thinkpad keyboard

[dry gale]

Idk

[fleet wave]

88MB/s isnt exactly fast

[dry gale]

It went to 105 MB/s now

[dry gale]

No RGB gang

@slate thorn you have RGB?

[fleet wave]

if you're moving from a hdd it cant go faster than that

[slate thorn]

On my laptop? I dont

[valid lava]

my pc has crazy rgb yet it wasnt even on purpose

[slate thorn]

I almost always have they keyboard leds turned off

[warm pumice]

I’m stuck with the red light on the Acer 😭

[dry gale]

Same here

[dry gale]

Doesn't Acer have rainbow?

[warm pumice]

Not my model

It’s just the plain Red

[dry gale]

Actually moving from a HDD

[dry gale]

Oh the old one

[warm pumice]

I use a keyboard and place it on top and have it has RGB

[warm pumice]

Yeah

https://tenor.com/view/growing-old-getting-old-grow-old-old-man-becoming-old-gif-17885988

Late 2020 model

[dry gale]

Me just have a white backlight keyboard

Only old legion users have it

[slate thorn]

My actual keyboard is rgb, but, I have the light turned off as well lol

[dry gale]

New legion users have RGB

I want Acer predator but my budget oof

Bought legion 5 with 1650 instead

[placid otter]

got a weak red light setup on my keyboard just to see letters

[dry gale]

Atleast better than my 2011 3rd gen Intel i5 Dell Optiplex PC

I can finally able to play games

[slate thorn]

My first laptop had a Celeron 1000M

[warm pumice]

Stay away from Acer

As a fellow Acer user

[dry gale]

Why

Acer predator good

[warm pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-bryson-tiller-gif-5261186

[slate thorn]

Acer laptops are nice and all, the issue is just that Lenovo exists :^)

[placid otter]

had a acer laptop for like 5 years. worked fine for what it was made for

[warm pumice]

I’m just assuming it’s like the Nitro

Never looked at the reviews for the Predator one

[placid otter]

keyboard on my lenovo laptop just starts getting so hot just from using osrs... cant play anything on it because of the heat

[dry gale]

My friend told it's actually good

[warm pumice]

Maybe it’s better than the Nitro series

Ahh okay then

[slate thorn]

Ok, well, it depends on the lenovo laptop ofc, lenovo has plenty of e-waste laptop as well :^)

[placid otter]

costed us 900$ okay was expensive

[dry gale]

IdeaPad gaming 3?

Kek

[placid otter]

specs are fine, but it has awful cooling since its very thin

[warm pumice]

I paid $900 for mine,$800 if I wanted 8gb and 60hz

But obviously newest models are cheaper and better specd out

[slate thorn]

I paid 1700 euros for my laptop iirc

[placid otter]

dont remember what it has, havent used it since last october

[warm pumice]

Battery life is horrid on the Nitro 5 but I’m assuming that’s gaming laptops in general

I have it plugged in

[dry gale]

Ric- closes mouth

[placid otter]

heavy load simply requires alot

[warm pumice]

3hrs on maximum energy saving

[fleet wave]

I paid 0 because my company paid for it

[slate thorn]

I just don't spend money on anything else
Instant noodle diet for the past 100 years

[warm pumice]

I could maybe watch 4 shows on it on low brightness and fans on low speed

[dry gale]

A true gamer indeed

[dry gale]

You guys use your laptop without connected to power?

[slate thorn]

In reality my laptop was €1100 because I managed to sell my old laptop for €600 still

[warm pumice]

It’s always connected to the power,I’m just saying when it’s not connected

[placid otter]

used it only for school so i ussualy did unless needed to charge yeah

[warm pumice]

Display switches to 30hz

[dry gale]

My display doesn't even switch

Even in battery mode

Lenovo only has 120 Hz in their display

No variable refresh rate

[slate thorn]

On battery laptop switches to igpu which is nice

[warm pumice]

That’s interesting

[dry gale]

I have to switch to it manually

I use custom resolution utility to add a 60 Hz value and switch my laptop to that refresh rate

[warm pumice]

Is that common on all legion models??

[dry gale]

This laptop's display can go upto 131 Hz if it's overclocked

[fleet wave]

lol what's the point of laptop if you're always connected to a wall

[slate thorn]

My legion auto switches

[dry gale]

Portability

[slate thorn]

But it is amd cpu, I believe on my legion 5 which was intel it didn't auto switch (if it even could switch?)

[dry gale]

I think it's because of Pro version

[dry gale]

Need to switch manually

We don't have advanced optimus so we need to restart after switching

[warm pumice]

Wait,it can be overclocked?

[warm pumice]

Portability mostly

[slate thorn]

You can overclock screens yeah

[dry gale]

I tried and yes

[slate thorn]

Doesnt work as well on every screen

[warm pumice]

Tired of dismantling and assembling everytime I go visit my parents in the weekend

[dry gale]

But also Rip your display

[warm pumice]

😭😭😭

[fleet wave]

that makes sense

[dry gale]

I never dismantled by laptop not even once

Explains why I didn't upgrade my Ram and SSD

[fleet wave]

for my old laptop I changed the keyboard to another model and repasted the cpu heatpipes with liquid metal

[warm pumice]

I had to because I broke one of the fans and needed to add more storage

[dry gale]

it's fine now ig

[warm pumice]

What application is taking up the most memory?

[dry gale]

I am seeing a significant improvement in loading time

[fleet wave]

as you should

new games are not meant to be played on hdd speeds, the asset streaming is just not feasible

[dry gale]

But some games did played well even cyberpunk ran fine

[slate thorn]

Probably better optimized loading

[fleet wave]

define "fine"

you'll get some stuttering on a hdd

[dry gale]

Got it in FH5 only

Only when I was overspeeding at 300+ MPH

The game runs at 60 fps now

Which is actually better than what I was suffering from before

[fleet wave]

that's surprising

[dry gale]

Ok it goes to 45 fps when I sprint

Lol

[fleet wave]

yeah..

[neon scroll]

Bethesda be like

[dry gale]

Which of the 4 houses you guys were get sorted in?

[slate thorn]

Slytherin

[valid lava]

gryffindor for me

[warm pumice]

Slytherin

But I opted for Hufflepuff

[placid otter]

the site never properly worked for me so couldnt do the test

[warm pumice]

For Batman

And because of events in the movie

[dry gale]

I got Slytherin

[warm pumice]

They hold it down at Hogwarts 💪

[dry gale]

Lmao the cat ran away

I used levioso on it

[slate thorn]

I always get slytherin on official test, and I got it in game as well :v

[dry gale]

I got it in Wizarding World and also in game

[slate thorn]

yeah, wizarding world, thats the name of the official one

[dry gale]

Wow?

I see a cat glitching below the ground jumping

[placid otter]

accio on cat is funny

[dry gale]

Tried but the cat didn't come

[placid otter]

ive seen it work

idk

[dry gale]

Or else idk how to use it yet

Now tell me how to use Crucio and Avada Kedavra

[worldly tangle]

Raven Claw i didn't know this house is so cool .... and why Professor Garlick is so cute!?

in the new pokemon livestream they said at some point "lets hear more info from chris brown" and the whole chat lost it for a second thinking it's the singer then lost it again when they saw it's another chris brown, gold moment

[placid otter]

they mention anything of note?

[hazy rune]

dlc for pokemon scarlet and violet coming in 2 parts, fall and winter, new pokemon mobile app called pokemon sleep, some very small update for pokemon sword and shield

apparently this means they're basically killing off the studio

and forspoken only came out what, a month ago?

[valid lava]

ikr like forspoken was such a massive success

[valid lava]

typical fromsoftware tbh

[random field]

chad move

use their big The Game Awards spot to announce a game most Souls fans will never touch

then 2 months later announce the dlc they expected

[minor bolt]

i guess it makes sense considering e3 might not happen

[dry gale]

Ok but will they release it on Xbox?

[minor bolt]

probably next feb

not like you probably want to play it on any platform tho

[random field]

not really

Luminous used to be Creative Business Unit 2 within Square Enix

they previously made Final Fantasy XV

and the Luminous Engine that and Forspoken run on

[minor bolt]

yeah ive seen stuff about them having big issues with it

[random field]

S-E spun them off into their own thing a few years ago so they would focus on creating new Triple-A games geared to a more global audience

[random field]

oops they were Business Division 2. S-E shook up all 11 of their Business Divisions into 4 Creative Business Units

i actually dont think they'l release this on Xbox

if the game already has trouble on PS5, the huge gap in performance between the series s and x would only make that even more of a problem

[minor bolt]

just lower the resolution until it runs on the s

[smoky imp]

kek

now i will wait for the game to go on sale

[placid otter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkJQZ2Cz9-s yee they're fusing devil jin and jin into one, saw some devil jin staple moves used

[glass knot]

Cool

Kinda expected too, they did this with kazuya didn't they

[sand mural]

nah kazuya and devil kazuya dont differ much but jin and devil jin do, and as such have been separate characters since forever

devil jin's my fav mishima out of da 4 but if they combine devil jin and jin's movesets well enuff in tekken 8 its ight

[glass knot]

Ah icic

Jin looking sick

[dry gale]

WEW

[sand mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmwdv_JpI-8 this highlights da devil jin n jin convergence

[cinder rivet]

Kinda sad that there wont be devil jin as a separate character

For me at least

And i hope this time tekken wont do same shit as 7 and force me to download 30GB of 4k videos ill never use

[sand mural]

ik some ppl would be glad with devil jin gone he kinda been busted throughout almost all of tekken 7's lifespan

[cinder rivet]

he was in my top3 most played

but im super casual noob so yeah

[sand mural]

most well-rounded w tools for every situation, least technical mishima with a handful busted devil moves

Thanks to a series of fortunate events, I met Naoki Yoshida, Koji-Fox and the rest of the FFXVI dream team!
I only had a few minutes to talk with them & make a professional first impression, and... Well.
I guess they'll remember me as the guy who asked 'em to do the Manderville.

idk if we have seen druid or necromancer yet? need to check the classes and see what i want

[slate thorn]

I've never played a diablo game before, so I really want to try out diablo 4

[placid otter]

yeah same. i tried out PoE a while ago, but wasnt that much a fan of the world.
d3 demo was very fun and hoped d4 maybe my first

d3 only 20 so maybe i just try that

[fleet wave]

i played a shitton of d3 really good game

[smoky imp]

personally more interested in baldurs gate 3 but i used to play some diablo 3 with family members and it was fun

[slate thorn]

Baldurs gate 3 my beloved

[neon scroll]

It eventually became one is probably more accurate. D3 at launch was absolutely unplayable garbage, auction house scam included

Which is pretty much why I have zero faith in blizzard delivering a good game at launch.

And would urge everyone to wait at least a couple days before buying it

[placid otter]

free baldurs gate 1 from twitch prime

[fleet wave]

cant say as i played it years after launch

[smoky imp]

alright so what I heard about the new Wo Long game:
-great looking fights but playing with a controller is recommended
-no one cares about the meh story

[valid lava]

just like nioh

any souls-like games without a controller is weird anyway

huh
seems like its even worse with this one

[smoky imp]

yeah basically

also i couldn't play a souls like on keyboard

it took me months to understand that square means that i heal myself not attack

[random field]

people play on like, donkey kong bongos. makes the keyboard seem easy.

[smoky imp]

or a dancing mat

[pliant temple]

the wo long demo was fun imo, that optimization needed some work tho

oh to beat bloodborne with a dance pad

[smoky imp]

can't even beat bloodborne the normal way

[glass knot]

I'm way too used to kbm

played elden ring on kbm it was fine

[digital crane]

for most 3d singleplayer games i use controller

except horizon zero dawn

kbm just feels better for that game

Hey I know the game show music

Spoiler tag for undertale is super funny to me idk why

Great game

[smoky imp]

Maybe bcs most people know the story already

Man I had only 1HP left in the game show

I have no idea what to do so I will go around Hotland i guess

Game kinda confusing

[glass knot]

Yeah this part specifically was a bit confusing even in my memory of it

[smoky imp]

There's a tsundere plane

I thought about completely redoing the game but apparently the game remembers that and I hate this

I still feel in my bones when I ||accidentally killed Toriel, quickly closed the game to redo it and Flowey spoke to me about that||

Man i suck at this game

[glass knot]

LOL

I did the same thing rip

[glass knot]

You'd have to wipe your save folder completely and start all over again yeah

[smoky imp]

If it works on the switch

But I think i am already far

So I will just keep going

have you enjoyed undertal so far

[glass knot]

now do pacifist

[stable stratus]

[glass knot]

[stable stratus]

^^

ngl tho undertale was such an experience

[smoky imp]

Didn't I do that already

I think I just beat the game???

A better ending?

Huh what route did I just beat

I wonder if I messed up some things now

[pliant temple]

What happened at the end of it?

[smoky imp]

||Flowey found it strange that I spared him and told me that I should go befriend Undyne since she might have the key to a better ending?||

Like do i reset now or just go back to my safe file which is right before fighting Asgore

[glass knot]

yeah you got the neutral ending, didn't you ||kill toriel accidentally||

[smoky imp]

yes but i went back bcs i am chicken

even if Flowey remembered that

So i can still get the true pacifist ending right

And do I have to go to her before I fight Asgore or do I have to reset

[glass knot]

mmmmmmmmmmmm

i think you just need to go back and befriend undyne then

been a while since i've played it

there's just a lot of "neutral" pacifist endings, and there's the true one

where you befriend everyone and do not kill a single monster i think

[pliant temple]

yeah i think if you didn't kill a single monster you can just go back to undyne like don said

[stable stratus]

in order to do true pacifist you need to get neutral ending first

that's how it meant to be

[smoky imp]

Alright this is good to hear then

It did fell like there was more to the game felt a bit short on it's characters

[glass knot]

There's a lot more

Paradox's the Sims

[sand mural]

paradox basically killed simcity with cities skylines r they gonna do it again

[fleet wave]

it annoys me when people call cities skylines a paradox game when they're just the publisher and the game is developed by colossal order

[slate thorn]

If it really was a paradox game you'd need to play it with 87 wiki tabs open just to finish the 40 hour tutorial

[fleet wave]

lmao

[smoky imp]

truly paradox

[placid otter]

this is good list

[neon scroll]

I mean, you still kinda do, it's just very differently structured wikis

[glass knot]

strive on gamepass

[slate thorn]

never played a guilty gear game before, looks cool though

[placid otter]

strive trailer is cool yeh

[dry gale]

Aiyoo Gamepass becoming more and more worthy day by day

[slate thorn]

Whenever I play like Stellaris or Crusader Kings, I still don't understand a single thing after 100 years of playing. Whereas Cities Skylines is a lot more straightforward. But that could also just be my smooth brain

[neon scroll]

Probably is tbh, personally I've tried games like Skylines since the first SimCity and not even once have I produced a profitable city.

[dusty imp]

thats probably pretty similar to the real world

[neon scroll]

Fair

[slate thorn]

profitable cities are a myth

[glass knot]

strive is super cool

i played it a bit on the crossplay beta they did

[indigo minnow]

i have never won a Stellaris campaign

[smoky imp]

i have guilty gear xrd sign but i am too stupid to understand that

[pliant temple]

if it helps strive is not as complicated as older guilty gear games

gonna give it a go on game pass too lol

[smoky imp]

might do that when i use game pass too

but that's for the summer

hope i can play lots of games in summer

[glass knot]

get in w some friends, should be fun

fighting games just always more fun with friends who are hopping in too

[smoky imp]

what if you don't have friends

or at least friends who don't play that

[glass knot]

if i have gamepass by then too i'm down to play with you

[smoky imp]

[sand mural]

strive has great rollback netcode so should have gud connection regardless of distance

[glass knot]

ye should be fine

i'm hyped for sf6 soon too

beta was really good

had a lot of fun even if i suck at the game

[sand mural]

i hope da next wave of slated fighting games has rollback every one of em

[smoky imp]

i love the characters designs

think Cammy's my favorite so far

[glass knot]

Juri

Cammy's redesign is sick tho

[slate thorn]

I can play as well, I also have gamepass

[smoky imp]

Juri with a new eye

[slate thorn]

I have like, no experience with fighting games though lol

[smoky imp]

i used to play a lot fighting games as a kid

[glass knot]

and tapes all over her body

looks sick tho

[smoky imp]

true

my most hyped fighting game for now is Dragonball tho

[glass knot]

most anticipated probably project L

for me

[slate thorn]

The only fighting game I've ever really played was smash bros on the wii

[placid otter]

dragonball and tekken 3 my most played fighting games

[glass knot]

But Project L probably pretty far away yet

[placid otter]

that the riot one?

[glass knot]

ye

[sand mural]

mine's obv tekken 8

think its da only upcoming fighting game doubling down on complicating mechanics further, rest have gone da route of more accessibility to attract new players

strive, sf6 etc

[placid otter]

there was this one MK game on xbox360 with coop campaign. i want moer of that

was my fav moments

[glass knot]

when it comes to mechanics i think the drive system in sf6 isn't really simplifying it, there's a lot of options for a bunch of scenarios they do have different control schemes for new players but t8 also has that

but also tekken has their entire move catalogue

and keeps adding to it

[smoky imp]

man nintendo should finally put their games on sale

no way i need to pay 50-60 euro for the first hyrule warriors

[slate thorn]

You can always buy used

[fleet wave]

yeah you kinda have to study irl traffic engineering to make something good

[smoky imp]

yeah but the cheapest i found was 49

meanwhile fire emblem warriors costs 20 bucks lol

maybe i will buy it for 49? hmmm

[sand mural]

wait til mar 10 (mario day) at least, lots of official eshop sales then

[smoky imp]

i prefer to buy physical stuff but seems like i have no other choice

only 3 days at least

idk why Sony been still struggling just to accept an agreement

they have good exclusivities and exclusive perks for their games right?

[slate thorn]

It's because Sony does not want to work with other companies, they would rather die

https://youtu.be/raWbElTCea8

[dry gale]

but only get exclusivity rights and add exclusive stuff?

[dry gale]

OH BOY

pls let it run on my GTX 1650 atleast

[slate thorn]

At first I thought it was July, since it said 09.06, but I've been bamboozled 😔

[dry gale]

september

[valid lava]

that'll be scary

[dry gale]

well it shud run on GTX 1650 right? or shud I cloud gaming that thing?

ok the minimum requirements is GTX 1060 hmmmmmmm

[valid lava]

idk
i just know the old 1660s i had before was getting a bit sick of the games i played

[slate thorn]

Laptop 1650 right?

[valid lava]

theres no official system requirements yet

[slate thorn]

Because that might be pushing it, but, I think it should probably be fine at minimum graphics

Maybe slightly lowering the resolution as well

[valid lava]

fsr at ultra performance

[dry gale]

wait I just realised they haven't released the system requirements yet

[slate thorn]

Or dlss

[valid lava]

i was gonna say dlss but i dont even know what it is exactly i dont use nvidia anymore

[slate thorn]

Minimum graphics just turns it into Skyrim :^)

[dry gale]

DLSS is for RTX only, I am a GTX user

[slate thorn]

Ah

[dry gale]

🥹

[slate thorn]

Then fsr yeah

[valid lava]

i see

[dry gale]

FSR 2

FSR 2 Balanced

coz that's what the setting I am running Hogwarts Legacy at

[slate thorn]

I run dlss quality in hogwarts

[dry gale]

u shud have updated the DLSS driver in Hogwarts legacy to the latest one if u r using it

[valid lava]

i use fsr quality in cyberpunk just for the extra 12 fps

even if its already running at 85 without it

[dry gale]

Cyberpunk has FSR 2 yet?

coz that's better than FSR

[valid lava]

yes

2.1

[slate thorn]

I can't recall my graphics settings in cyberpunk

[dry gale]

me graphics settings in Cyberpunk is medium without FSR and it's already giving a good amount of FPS

[valid lava]

i tried medium ray tracing in it
still runs 55-60
but amd not so good for ray tracing
some games runs really well with it tho
but ye i turned that shit off

[dry gale]

idk why Hogwarts Legacy is not doing that good amount of FPS shit

[slate thorn]

I turned off rt in cyberpunk, the fps drop is not worth it

Same for hogwarts

[dry gale]

turn on RT only if u have a 3080, 3090, 4080, 4090 card

[slate thorn]

With the 3070, the moment you turn on RT it will be a sub 60 fps experience

[valid lava]

i use max rt only on the re remakes cuz they run stable 165fps with it
hoping i can do the same with re4 remake coming in 2 weeks

[slate thorn]

Yeah, some games are fine with RT

[dry gale]

some games only

some idk what the developers use to make RT

and Unreal Engine 5?

can our PC cope that kind of performance?

[slate thorn]

The Resident Evil games probably have the best RT

As in, no performance drop at all basically

[valid lava]

yeah and looks crazy good

[pliant temple]

Heaviest RT performance wise for me was in Witcher 3

Dropped like 20 fps with it activated lol

[valid lava]

i simply cannot play witcher 3
next gen is optimized like absolute crap

[slate thorn]

I never use fps counters really so I'm not sure what the heaviest RT is I've tried

[dry gale]

the moment u use FPS counters u will get disappointed with ur own PC

[valid lava]

my pc is very fine

[pliant temple]

so true

[pliant temple]

yyyeah i had more expectations for it tbh

[valid lava]

bro the game loads one tree and it stutters like 13 times

[dry gale]

why do I think getting a console is much better than getting a gaming PC now?

[valid lava]

some games runs like shit on console too
just not as bad as pc

[pliant temple]

companies really are struggling more and more with pc ports from what i've seen lol

[dry gale]

u know u have to worry about specs when u have a PC and optimization for PC is a struggle for the developers as there are many PCs in the world with different configs

[dry gale]

that's what I was gonna say

if u have a console, ur console has only one configuration so the companies won't have to struggle to make ur game work on it

but wow Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox One S is completely forgotten by StarField Developers

it's a next-gen game now

[slate thorn]

I mean, "next gen"

[valid lava]

console def is more convenient and cheaper
but theres an fps cap, it doesnt look as good unless u change to resolution mode which then caps it at 30 fps

[slate thorn]

It's current gen

PS5 and XSeries have been out for how many years now?

[valid lava]

2 and a half

or sum

[dry gale]

the fact that the Series S and Series X is actually cheaper than my 1650 laptop...

[slate thorn]

Yeah, 2.5

Calling something that's 2.5 years old next gen sounds pretty silly

[valid lava]

yeah but computers arent just to game

[dry gale]

yes that what makes PCs special whether if it's a Laptop or Desktop

[slate thorn]

And your laptop also comes with a screen

[valid lava]

like even if i have a console, i still need a good pc for other stuff

[dry gale]

we didn't forget Steam Deck right?

[slate thorn]

And keep in mind

Consoles are sold at a loss

[dry gale]

how

[slate thorn]

Laptops and pc's are sold at a profit

[dry gale]

LCD Screen tho

[slate thorn]

It costs them more to sell you the console than they earn from selling it

They get their profits from games and subscriptions

[dry gale]

but there is an advantage for PCs... I can connect this to my TV through HDMI and get a controller and play it on my couch just like console games

[pliant temple]

Honestly the biggest thing for me to prefer pc gaming are the prices you can get in games
That alone makes the cost worth it for me

[pliant temple]

still not for sale on my country

[dry gale]

same here

but I also don't think the Steam deck is worth the money

[slate thorn]

The PS5 has less loss than the Series I believe

[valid lava]

i wanted to get one but
id rather get a laptop
but again id use the laptop just to be a lazy mf in bed all day while my pc would be literally in front of me

[pliant temple]

true, a laptop would be more worth it at the end of the day

[slate thorn]

If you want to game on the go / like handhelds then the steamdeck is still a super good option

[valid lava]

dont need crazy one either
prolly would go for one with a 3060 cuz prices are decent rn and its not like its gonna be my main gaming device

[slate thorn]

Also much cheaper than a laptop

[dry gale]

sacrificing the specs

[slate thorn]

The steam deck runs games surprisingly well still

[dry gale]

u can carry a gaming laptop and game anywhere

[slate thorn]

Especially since you can run it at a lower resolution because of the smaller screen

[dry gale]

I can literally game at my school, home and my relatives house

[slate thorn]

If you have a table yes

[valid lava]

rdr2 on steam deck can reach 45 fps i believe

[dry gale]

The advantage of Gaming Laptop is this

It's Portable

[valid lava]

gaming laptop more chance for fire hazard

[slate thorn]

I'm not saying the steam deck is better than a laptop, but, for like $500 you have a crazy little gaming machine

[dry gale]

just get ones with good thermals and u r fine

[slate thorn]

And, comparing it to a laptop is kinda silly, since it doesnt try to be a laptop, it's a handheld

It would be like comparing a Nintendo DS to a Chromebook :P

[sand mural]

steam deck has a desktop mode too tho right

and its spec is also p nice

basically wat most ppl's ideal switch pro specs would be

[dry gale]

my GPU goes maximum 79C and my CPU goes maximum 70-80C

no wait 60-70

[valid lava]

i assume these are normal temps for laptop?

[slate thorn]

If all I wanted to do was play games on the go and nothing else, then a Steam Deck sounds more appealing to me than a laptop, partly due to the price and partly due to the convenience of just, being able to hold it and that's it

[slate thorn]

Would even be normal temps for not a laptop

[valid lava]

ah

i dont think my gpu ever goes above 70

[slate thorn]

Cpu and gpu can safely get 100c or so

Not that you would want that temperature though lol

[valid lava]

and my cpu temps are the arctic ocean

still amazed by how good that aio is considering how cheap as hell it was

[slate thorn]

"Cheap"

A friend of mine can actually "borrow" 512gb ssd's from his work to use in steam deck

Which is what he did with his steam deck

[valid lava]

listen
compared to the other ones it was cheap ok

[dry gale]

A cpu can go upto a maximum of 100C, if it goes beyond that, there's a certain point which will initiate a shutdown operation in ur PC after u reach that temp

[slate thorn]

That's because other brands spend a billion on marketing and have brand tax :^)

[valid lava]

and i didnt want dual fans so

[dry gale]

imagine people with RGB fans

with a cooling pad

[valid lava]

almost every fan has rgb these days tho

[slate thorn]

The only rgb in my pc is the little logo on my gpu

[dry gale]

not mine

my fans have only dust

[slate thorn]

Not really

[valid lava]

most cases i checked came with rgb fans

[slate thorn]

Most cases don't come with rgb fans

[dry gale]

My CPU temperature now is at 50-60C and GPU temp at 40-50C

[slate thorn]

A lot of cases only come with like a single black fan, or no fans at all at times

[dry gale]

there shud be a fan

[sand mural]

bundled case fans are usually da most cost cutting fans possible from wat ive seen

[slate thorn]

When you go to the premium cases there tend to be more black fans included, with options of rgb fans now and then

[sand mural]

they do da job but nothing to write home abt

[valid lava]

ny cpu on idle is like around 35c

[sand mural]

and def no rgb

[slate thorn]

Depends, plenty if budget cases with no fan

[dry gale]

is that a PC or laptop? and how many fans running inside it?

[slate thorn]

He has a 360 AIO

[valid lava]

3 case fans + aio + 3 gpu fans

[warm pumice]

Me with a 1560ti 👁️👄👁️

[slate thorn]

I'm not sure what my laptop temps are idle, let me check

[valid lava]

u mean 1650ti right

[valid lava]

which was pain and suffering to install

[warm pumice]

Oh nvm,you right

[fleet wave]

35c what the hell

are your fans running at max speed or somethng

[valid lava]

no

[slate thorn]

It's a 360 aio on a 5800, it wont be hot

[dry gale]

1650ti

[dry gale]

I just have 2 mini fans here

imagine if he uses nitrogen cooling

[warm pumice]

Yeah,I had a “oh shit” moment

[dry gale]

do u know there's not much difference between our graphics? unless mine is mobile and yours is a desktop one

[valid lava]

at first i just wanted some mid range pc
average upgrade from my 1660s
but then i hated that idea and went for the kidney selling build when i clearly didnt need it

[warm pumice]

The TI? And non-Ti? From what I remembered the best way to explain it is in car terms,it’s pretty much turbo but may blow your engine

[slate thorn]

Ok, my cpu seems to be 40c and gpu 33c, idle, in my laptop

[valid lava]

u got the arctic ocean too

[dry gale]

well it's the same thing

there's not much difference

[slate thorn]

I don't have ant arctic fans no

[dry gale]

that's why I was like I will go with 1650

[warm pumice]

I thought that’s whT you meant that’s why

I mentioned the 1650 ti and you mentioned 1650

So I just assumed non-ti and ti

[dry gale]

only PC update patch notes and this is only one single section of the entire patch notes

[slate thorn]

Porpel browser

[valid lava]

been a while since ive used chrome

[dry gale]

and I am still using chrome eventho if I have only 8 GB of Ram

[valid lava]

can only open 3 tabs with that amount
upgrade to 16 for 3 more tabs

[dry gale]

I can open more

I have opened like 30 tabs once and it was running fine

[valid lava]

i was joking

[dry gale]

19 GB memory

KEK

[slate thorn]

I still use chrome :P

[dry gale]

my laptop by default assigned 10 GB of virtual memory to my SSD

[valid lava]

i constantly have 10+gb in use cuz i always have 8384 things in the background

[warm pumice]

Nice

[slate thorn]

Are you one of those persons that has 30 apps open in the background on their phone?

[warm pumice]

Firefox,Edge and Opera GX

[warm pumice]

I feel personally attacked lmfao

[valid lava]

no i actually close my apps when im done using them

ik my pc can take it
my phone cannot

[slate thorn]

Whenever I have to help my dad on his phone, he has like 50 apps open, and I hate it

[valid lava]

actually maybe it can

[dry gale]

that's actually me

[slate thorn]

How do you people live

[valid lava]

i only have discord open on my phone rn

[dry gale]

when u have an app open on the background in ur phone, it loads faster and takes less CPU power to open it but when u have it closed and open it for the first time, it will cost a lot of CPU and battery power compared to the former one.

[slate thorn]

I don't really have any issues with that

But I do have very fast phone so..

[warm pumice]

Gonna have to close all the webtoon tabs I got open 😪

[dry gale]

it was those old days where u had to remove apps from background but it's 2023 now and we have enough ram to store apps in the background

[valid lava]

i dont really care about my phone performances
like
its just a phone
i dont play any games or anything on it

[warm pumice]

Must explain why my phone dies fast

[dry gale]

how many tabs?

[slate thorn]

I just don't like having stuff open in the background, it feels so messy

[warm pumice]

That’s not important 👀

Nah but like

Over 100

😪

[dry gale]

good u don't have 500+ tabs open like I do

[glass knot]

i don't get how people can do this

[warm pumice]

I ain’t gonna cap,I’m at the halfway point 😪😪😭😭😭

[warm pumice]

Laziness

[valid lava]

browser tabs i really cant have more than like 5 otherwise i get overwhelmed

[dry gale]

I just open new tab, do my work and close the app. When I am gonna use it again I will open new tab

forgetting about the old tabs

[pliant temple]

[slate thorn]

I have like, maybe three tabs open most of the time
