[opaque sedge]

That sucks

[rancid juniper]

wait u got arc or?

[mortal grail]

I see genuine driver hitching

[mortal grail]

Been watching a friend try it

[rancid juniper]

ah

[opaque sedge]

Even people with high end hardware are getting lesser known underrated games so that can be a downer

[mortal grail]

Sadly 2/4 games work

[rancid juniper]

dang it

[mortal grail]

It was originally 4/4 but I fixed 2

[opaque sedge]

What games for example?

Are not working

[mortal grail]

Free to play

Typical western titles are running well

[opaque sedge]

Is ur friend gonna return it?

[mortal grail]

Uh

I'm not sure tbh

We want to stick the 7600 back in and then I'll know

It's on the cards tho

[opaque sedge]

Is it his first build?

Or smth

[mortal grail]

2nd

We fixed his main issue though using the card so that was at least a good thing

I'm tempted to see if maybe I buy it tho if he can't return it

Have to wait and see what's going on tbh

[opaque sedge]

Chances of being a bad card?

[mortal grail]

For the meantime it's really easy to say they covered the main points with battlemage

Nah

When it works it's definitely working

[opaque sedge]

Wait u said other games ran fine

[opaque sedge]

I’m stupid

[mortal grail]

Ye

It was a new windows install, fresh drivers

I would've noticed consistency

This definitely has like

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

Rdna 2 vibes about it

When that released drivers were spotty

[opaque sedge]

Rdna 2 was still a good step up right

Cept the 6500

[tacit geode]

https://tenor.com/view/prerich-prerichcoin-pre-rich-pre-rich-poor-gif-6819563625714692941

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah ofc

But early on you'd have mostly great running games

Then a few (especially new titles) with horrendous fps

[rancid juniper]

MPT was the best thing to happen for RDNA 2

[mortal grail]

Mostly not a thing anymore tho

[rancid juniper]

i wish rdna 3 had some voltage override or something

[opaque sedge]

I’m kinda fearful now cuz people who are most likely to buy a gpu at this price point are likely gonna be new builders and unreliable drivers can definitely steer them away

[mortal grail]

Young grasshopper must learn to spread paste before spreading voltages

[opaque sedge]

Ashamed to admit i kinda was one of those people

[rancid juniper]

[tranquil pebble]

First custom ComfyUI workflow output

[rancid juniper]

that issue is already solved

[proud jackal]

im poor

[rancid juniper]

thats not how apples....

[tranquil pebble]

yeah ik lol

[mortal grail]

I think there's some fair reason to say the card genuinely works well, it's just they hit the basics first

It's definitely gonna age well

I have no doubt

[rancid juniper]

dont worry bros, intel gen 3 will save it

[opaque sedge]

Yeah give it a year with more mature drivers and discounts

Might just become a more budget 6750xt

[tacit geode]

richer than me

i wish i could look at spending money on stuff like taht

[rancid juniper]

this is gonna take a while

[chrome mirage]

My PC setup uses 300W just to play Spotify

[cobalt pollen]

Question is this monitor good?

Gonna use it for my xbox, games like 2k, gta, cod

[chrome mirage]

That monitor looks like it has a wider aspect ratio than the Xbox supports. The Xbox won't use the whole screen.

[cobalt pollen]

Ah

Using it for my series x

Think they said its 21:9

[chrome mirage]

Xbox only does 16:9

[cobalt pollen]

Oh

[chrome mirage]

It will still display on other aspect ratios but there will be black bars on the screen

[cobalt pollen]

U think the black bars will be annoying

Are they big bars or smal

[chrome mirage]

I would find them annoying but some people dont

If its just going to be used for an Xbox you can probably find a good 16:9 monitor for the same price.

[cobalt pollen]

Recommendations? Bc i like the ultrawide looks like that one

I was watching a video and

His takes up the screen, ps5 doesnt support 21:9 either

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

It's terrible

The gap is bigger than between the 4080 and 4090

[cobalt pollen]

Ima jus buy this

Its mainly for my xbox series x

Its $250

I bouvht it, comes in an hour lyk how it is!

[tranquil pebble]

Nvidia sucks for gaming

too expensive to be justifiable

[opaque sedge]

Not sure much abt consoles but i would make sure it has hdmi 2.1

[cobalt pollen]

Its 2.0

[opaque sedge]

Eh should be fine unless its 4k

[cobalt pollen]

Nah im nust playin 1440p

Which is fine with me ngl

[opaque sedge]

But at 250

U could prolly find a mini led monitor

Near 300 actually

[cobalt pollen]

Well

$250 after fees tax etc

It was like $190

Delivery fee was $7 smh

I was just looking for smth quick

Bc im going to move my pc and stuff to my other house, and its annoying to drive with it, considering i only use it for gaming and thats not really smth i wanna do is move back and forth with it

My computer doesn't mind unreal engine 5 games but it was very expensive and if things keep going the way they are I might not be saying that for long.

[rancid juniper]

next game gonna ask for rtx 6080 when that gpu aint out yet

[chrome mirage]

With it feeling like you need a 7900XTX to run games at 1440p high without upscaling I can see that.

[rancid juniper]

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

New pokemon set, yeet. No sunbreon though

was hoping for sunbreon or sylveon

[icy ore]

Ooooo

that pikachu tho

Looks like you gots some worth some $

[velvet summit]

First time having Irish cream- it's way too sweet by itself lmao
Mixed it with some coffee and now it's perfect

[random osprey]

pikachu last set was worth the most and in this set that is literally the only pikachu card and its not even top 10 of most worth

made like $40 profit roughly of all my cards raw. no gamestop near me to send to psa

these are the 2 most expensive cards and the ones the people want the most. (i am also part of people)

$330 and $130 roughly or according to tcg player when looking at pokellector's site

[proud jackal]

Save money for 5090 Ti

[random osprey]

no, buy pokemon cards, pull high value card multiple times, sell, then buy 5090 super ti

buy me that sunbreon card theo, ill give 5 theo coins

idk, how do i translate a picture

Oh ......nvm

Don't answer that

[random osprey]

for sylveon, next attack by opponent, damage reduced by 100

choose 2 bench opponent pokemon and return them and all cards attached to it back to their deck

[dusk knot]

Behold .... technology

[random osprey]

you had to translate the one i already did

[dusk knot]

[random osprey]

trash all energy attached to this pokemon and take 1 side card

i dont play the actual tcg game so idk what a side card is

from the deck?

too late now jp

[dusk knot]

D:

[gleaming rivet]

aye I like that he did that though because I can see other parts of the card too

like the passive affect at the top under the name

Thank you both

I haven't played pokemon tcg since pokemon 2000 was in theatres

[dusk knot]

You see, wolf. It wasn't in vain

[gleaming rivet]

at that time I had all the pokiemans

[opaque sedge]

u guys got any good chair recs

[gleaming rivet]

yes

the one you sit in that feel comfy

[opaque sedge]

smth no nonsense just a simple comfy desk chair

[gleaming rivet]

Costco has some nononsense mesh cairs

[opaque sedge]

fine i'll drive an hour to ikea

smh

oh costco

[gleaming rivet]

I drove for hours in search of a chair that was comfy for me. I sat in every chair I came across.

To me a comfy chair is every bit worth spending the time finding the right one

[opaque sedge]

bro was doing an rpg quest

[gleaming rivet]

aye

I do

[random osprey]

Look at how long the name of this one is. Had to do small font

[gleaming rivet]

I ended up finding my current super comfy chair at a thrift shop in a town 3 hours away

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

it was broken in

[gleaming rivet]

I don't buy chairs online because I can't test drive em

[candid kelp]

more interested in what a nonsense chair entails

[gleaming rivet]

actually still new

[opaque sedge]

thats why it was comfy

[opaque sedge]

hmm gopod question

[gleaming rivet]

my nonsense chair has tons of levers and bs

[opaque sedge]

i'll sit on it for a bit before answering

[gleaming rivet]

badum tiss

[opaque sedge]

tempting

jk

[hoary zodiac]

why are they so overpriced

[gleaming rivet]

yeah straight up ridiculous for a 4 pack

[opaque sedge]

man chairs are expensive

i'll try looking at a goodwill or smth ig

[gleaming rivet]

Do it. Some of the best chairs and desks I've ever found were from having $20 in my pocket.

[hoary zodiac]

I'd pay $60 max for those

max

[opaque sedge]

understood

[hoary zodiac]

in reality those are worth $20 or less

[gleaming rivet]

given the material it looks like it's made of. I'd def say they are worth about $20 a pop.

[opaque sedge]

oh u talking abt those folding chairs

i just posted that as a joke

[dusk knot]

Hm

[gleaming rivet]

oh yeah if you're spending $60 for a chair at a thrift shop.. well.. I got a chair I could sell ya for $60 xD

[opaque sedge]

but yeah costco tends to put overpriced stuff now and then for some reason

lemme check on my phone actually where i'm logged into with my membership maybe there's hidden options

This cannot be good for one’s posture can it

Also these “gaming chairs” are typically bad quality right?

[gleaming rivet]

That's the one I sat in at Costco. It's pretty comfy

[opaque sedge]

Hmm maybe i should check it out

[gleaming rivet]

Cheap ones yes. But "gaming" chairs end up being more expensive than they are worth.

because "gaming"

[opaque sedge]

Wbt this one?

[gleaming rivet]

also with Costco.. They have a lifetime return policy for any reason

[gleaming rivet]

It's comfy, but the plastic bugs me.

[sage sluice]

Even if a gaming chair was comfy, the look alone turns me off

rip, may not be a "good" one. I definitely sat in several mesh chairs until I found my current one

[sage sluice]

5 year warranty theyll replace it if its even got wear and tear

Find your chair slightly more uncomfy since you bought it? Boom they send another one

Soon enough youll have an army of chairs

Just for buying one

We love staples ✨

[opaque sedge]

bro found the microcenter brand of chairs

[gleaming rivet]

like I said, I literally will sit in every chair I come across and hang out in it and see how it feels. I check for how my legs rest over the cushion. What it feels like on my lower back. How easy it is to lean back. Do my feet touch flat on the floor, how bent my legs are. The whole shabang

[opaque sedge]

hmm maybe microcenter has chairs

they carry a lot of weird stuff

[sage sluice]

They definitely do

Id be surprised if not

[opaque sedge]

looks like they have their own inhouse brand ones too 💀

cheapest one

f

1/3 of my gpu

hmmm

i give up

i'll just steal a chair from the dining table

Who knew a tire pressure can be under a recall. It used to be something for fancy cars and not needed

[velvet summit]

me when costco chairs

[velvet summit]

guess how much it costs for a school to buy the non-folding plastic chairs

[north crescent]

$420.69 per chair leg

[velvet summit]

real

[hoary zodiac]

it's funny because those are mass produce to a degree they should be dirt cheap

but uh

taxpayer money is easy money

[velvet summit]

iirc it's like around $50 per chair and that's when they buy in lots of like 10k chairs , so schools have like

a million dollars just in chairs?

[hoary zodiac]

what the hell

actual taxpayer scam

[velvet summit]

to be fair, they do have to handle a lot of abuse

and those chairs last for about a decade or more

[hoary zodiac]

still tho they're mass produced to such a degree

they should be cheaper than $50

[velvet summit]

probably

do note that the $50 is in canadian dollars, but that's still like 35usd or so?

[hoary zodiac]

there's only so much funding to go around

oh

that's in cad?

ok that's a lot more reasonable then

[velvet summit]

though in bigger schools it would still be like a million dollars in USD of just chairs

[hoary zodiac]

I mean $35 for one chair is fine

but $35 even if you buy in bulk?

that's really steep

[icy ore]

I was hoping like 899

[dusk knot]

1700-1800 for 5090

The 5090 will have to do

I sell my 3080ti.....and save up 1300

And get another PSU

[frigid stag]

850 to 1kw will probably be fine tbh

[velvet summit]

1 kilowatt

[dusk knot]

1000 just to be safe

[frigid stag]

I just won't be able to see it.

[icy ore]

question, hear me out

so Ark takes literally forever to update

every single time

it's pitiful. literally hours.

[dusk knot]

Hhhhhhmmmmmm

[icy ore]

Is it writing the game onto my HDD as a backup or something?

[dusk knot]

HDD.....

[icy ore]

is that why it takes an obscene amount of time? I have a spatinum m371 ssd that should write at 2350MB/s

which is what it is downloaded on

[gleaming rivet]

Yeah but gf can do way better things

[dusk knot]

Exactly

[dusk knot]

What is theminimum storage requirement?

[gleaming rivet]

[dusk knot]

[icy ore]

according to steam page

[dusk knot]

You see

But still.....

[hoary zodiac]

holy unoptimised

[icy ore]

essentially, doesn't it have to "store 2 copies of the game"

oh yeah this is literally the worst optimized game out there rn

[velvet summit]

well, you see, it's natural to see bugs in nature so it's actually immersive to have many bugs in a survival game

[icy ore]

like no joke

[dusk knot]

It is.....my 3080ti struggles with medium I believe.

[hoary zodiac]

isn't this game a decade old

[velvet summit]

i think it's bee more than a decade at this point? might be remembering wrong

oh

[icy ore]

i just don't understand what i could even do to prevent it from writing onto my hdd without consent lol

[velvet summit]

hasnt been

[hoary zodiac]

game any good tho?

[icy ore]

unless i unplug the darn thing

[dusk knot]

Oh right lmao. They've really upped their game in the immersion department..

[velvet summit]

a bit over 2 years off from the decade mark

[icy ore]

i've found out the hard way that you have to have at least double the amount of free storage for it to update

[hoary zodiac]

it's funny because space engineers exists

that game is stupidly optimised given the scope of the game

[icy ore]

i've been waiting hours for this turd to update

[hoary zodiac]

like

I'm still surprised it runs that well

wait

wrong game

that's space engineers 2

[velvet summit]

it's pretty average in terms of survival games iirc
i havent really played it though lmao

[hoary zodiac]

og space engineers

runs really well

[dusk knot]

Better with friends...but the graphics look good ...if I could run it on max ):

maybe better than average

[cobalt pollen]

Not the worst

[cobalt pollen]

Is there a way to make my 16:9 2560x1440 look better, when im on 1080p

For sum reason my monitor wont run 120hz at 1440

[sinful blade]

Adjust settings

[cobalt pollen]

Thabks

[rancid juniper]

[cobalt pollen]

So google and gpt says it supports 1440p, at 100hz itll just show as 120hz

My confusion is why it dont

It runs 1080 at 120 fine

[icy ore]

huh

was gonna say what cpu did you buy this time but another 4090? 💀

[fresh nova]

SLI bro

more = better

Disclaimer: 
For anyone not knowing I'm being sarcastic...SLI hasn't been supported for generations of NVIDIA cards & there's no actual point to using SLI for the average person wanting to play games, this is a joke referencing a past age of GPU's.

[mortal grail]

Should've asked to buy mine I'd have sold it

[fresh nova]

Working on a little "Project" 😏

But it required the MSI Suprim X 4090's, hence why I'm broke.

[mortal grail]

That's the one I have and I was serious

[fresh nova]

Felix there's no way you had the exact GPU I was looking for...

Well considering you did I guess we both agree it's a great card.

And I also assume you know exactly what I'm doing with it.

I wish I could explain but I need my HWBOT points can't let anyone take them from me.

I've come up with a genius solution if it works.

[mortal grail]

Alr

[fresh nova]

Best case scenario I'll get at least Silver, worst case I blow one or three of the cards up.

I'd say that's pretty good odds.

I could almost make all my money back and trade up to a 5090

Then do the same with 1 XTX to 8800XT

Ooo

9800X3D IS DUMM

[nocturne flicker]

...Would you prefer less dummy silicon and a more fragile cpu?

[elfin mural]

apparently intel released a patch that delivers perf boost of up to 30% in games

[proud jackal]

[nocturne flicker]

...Is that a yes?

[elfin mural]

the more i watch the loq essential's review

If my Orange Pi can fit a 2280 so too should a laptop

[lone mango]

Fr

[elfin mural]

still kinda not over the fact that the 7600s tuf a16 went oos in the shop that i got my a15 with 4050

sadness

[lone mango]

I wonder if I should put like a hundred in amd and nvidia before new cards launch

[elfin mural]

not a bad idea

[lone mango]

[elfin mural]

(im not a financial advisor)

[lone mango]

So true

[elfin mural]

but it's nvidia

when 5090 drops stocks is gonna go up

[lone mango]

It will cost at least 2k

[elfin mural]

with 32gb vram

ai go brr

[lone mango]

Mr J wants his 60% margins

[elfin mural]

yes

[lone mango]

Honestly I think 2000+ but 2000 is a conservative estimate

But look

It performs so much better than the 4090 that even with the price increase, you still get better value

Better price to perf

So the more you buy the more you save

[hoary zodiac]

is this an x3d moment

[lone mango]

I hate this guy bruh

[hoary zodiac]

only the top end is worth buying?

[lone mango]

Must purchase more

[lone mango]

I guess its arc or nothing

Grim

[elfin mural]

when he tells you the more you buy the more you save

he means this

"8k gpu"

watch a 2025 game come out and bring the 5090 to its knees

[hoary zodiac]

and in a couple years a gpu half the price is going to outperform it

[lone mango]

Ok guys but for real this time this is an 8k gpu

[hoary zodiac]

is it actually 8k

[lone mango]

Probably

[elfin mural]

nope

[hoary zodiac]

oh in resolution

[elfin mural]

on dlss!!

[hoary zodiac]

not $$$

[elfin mural]

dlss with frame generation

[hoary zodiac]

to that I have to say

4K is still a pipedream

it takes 1 year for a 4k gpu to drop down to 1440p tier

[elfin mural]

euro truck sim 2 now has taa

and i hate it

even setting it to sharpest settings, there's still blur

[hoary zodiac]

foxy do you buy stocks?

[elfin mural]

good thing they still let you choose between normal aa or taa, or aa+taa

no

im broke

[hoary zodiac]

aw

[elfin mural]

i wish i did

[lone mango]

Apu right now is super cheap

I would recommend putting at least like 50 or something if you can

[elfin mural]

intel stocks rose a bit when arc battlemage dropped

[lone mango]

Intel stocks have barely moved last time I checked

I don’t think intel stocks are ever coming back

[elfin mural]

not until they make a miracle

[hoary zodiac]

I have faith in intel

[elfin mural]

aka make their own cpus with non tsmc node

[lone mango]

Christmas sale rn

[hoary zodiac]

is that a coin

[lone mango]

Yeah

[hoary zodiac]

bruh

[lone mango]

I lost like $125 or so

[hoary zodiac]

oh wow cryptos are all actually dipping all across the board

the peak might be over

🥱

welp gonna wait until next year

[lone mango]

Yeah everyone is dumping for some reason

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[elfin mural]

new year

and christmas

it's spending time

[hoary zodiac]

and also the cryptos went pretty high

[elfin mural]

yeah

it went to former high

[hoary zodiac]

so they probably were satisfied with their gains

[elfin mural]

people who hodl

[hoary zodiac]

I'm still holding

[lone mango]

Probably gonna put another hundred into apu

[hoary zodiac]

no don't

it's going to dip more

[lone mango]

Oh I can’t do it rn anyway

Yeah but I plan to do it

[hoary zodiac]

it looks like it's going down for real

maybe it'll go back up but I wouldn't count on it

[lone mango]

Fr

[hoary zodiac]

all the crypto bro news outlets are probably going "eth is plummeting pull out now!!!"

[elfin mural]

they know what they're doing

more dip so they can buy low

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

so are they dipping it so they can intentionally buy it all back up?

[elfin mural]

essentially lmao

i doubt crypto is ever dying off

[hoary zodiac]

oh no it won't

[lone mango]

Bro I forgot what it was called exactly but this gold and silver guy made a solana coin to prove crypto is a meme and then everyone bought

[hoary zodiac]

it's just a rich people playground

[lone mango]

It blew up so much

[hoary zodiac]

it'll never go away

[lone mango]

I think it is called unicorn fart dust

[hoary zodiac]

now I'm tempted to buy a bunch of coins

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

$50 into every one

[elfin mural]

ez cash for rich people

[lone mango]

My brother is trying to find ones that have potential to blow up

[hoary zodiac]

well the thing is

I limit my scope

[elfin mural]

doge shot up after the whole

ahem

us government thing

[lone mango]

Solana is so risky tho

[hoary zodiac]

the coin has to have some certain recognition

[lone mango]

Solana coins rather

[hoary zodiac]

doge,eth,btc

they're something that say

won't die off permanently

[lone mango]

I can’t believe they named it that

[hoary zodiac]

if you lose money

there is the possbility that it'll shoot up next year

and you make your money bad

but if it's something stupid like hawk coin

you're never getting your money back

[lone mango]

I thought it was a coincidence but they deliberately named it that

[lone mango]

Right

Hey uhhh

If possible guys, stop randomly DMing me with troubleshooting questions and just ping in one of the channels in the server

cuz that's where it's easier to get help (since I could very well not know the answer and direct y'all to the server anyway)

[mortal grail]

@devout forum this is why I turn dms off

You can specifically switch it off for this server

So people need friend requests first which is easy to filter

[tranquil pebble]

needed a specific version of Python that was not on AUR so I just downloaded source, compiled then made a venv with it

why does it feel like finding technical stuff about Linux is easier than with Windows? lol

[mortal grail]

I feel like the opposite tbh

Linux tutorials are a nightmare to me if you have issues

[velvet summit]

What

Skill issue

[mortal grail]

U what urself

[velvet summit]

There are technical documentation for practically everything on Linux

[mortal grail]

Brother I should send you the tutorials that took both me and me mate a combined month to do a supposed hour

[mortal grail]

Not android there isn't

Ur a skill issue

U shut

[velvet summit]

Android only has the similarity of using the Linux kernel and is practically nothing like every other distro

[mortal grail]

Well there you go

It's still linux based though so you can still shut

[tranquil pebble]

Well compiling from source on Linux is like 100 times easier than with Windows is what I am noticing

[velvet summit]

Calling android Linux is like calling Macos Unix

[mortal grail]

Cos it is wtf

[tranquil pebble]

it is unix under the hood, but 99% of the time, for a user, that means nothing

[mortal grail]

Exactly

[tranquil pebble]

MacOS is BSD-like IIRC

If you want only the Unix part of Mac, you can do it. The kernel is called Darwin.

[velvet summit]

[mortal grail]

@velvet summit did you know

Pluto is

A dwarf planet

And it's largest moon is almost it's same size in magnitudinal terms

Charon

This moon is not a dwarf planet

Pluto also has 5 moons

[velvet summit]

It is very capable of running Mario kart

Also the Nintendo switch did get AAA games though

Just very watered down versions

[dusk knot]

Very capable 🧢

[sage sluice]

"Very capable" target specs - 720 30fps

[dusk knot]

Nintendo doesn’t do powerful hardware

[icy ore]

Nope

[dusk knot]

I imagine….it won’t be as impressive as the top handlehelds in specs

The only thing they can deliver is exclusives

[nocturne flicker]

Doesn't do or try to do powerful hardware anymore. The N64 was advertised as capable of cinema grade graphics

[velvet summit]

It will probably be very capable

Compared to the switch

[chrome mirage]

I was telling my dad about an older show I started watching and it was the next thing that showed up on the Netflix screensaver.

[tranquil pebble]

GameCube was the last console that was hw competitive

that thing was actually quite potent for the time

[rancid juniper]

fact

supermario sunshine still holds up

[unreal trail]

Mario sunshine is built on ice skates

[nocturne flicker]

It holds up but you can tell where they cut and scrimped content to make up for time

[misty sparrow]

nintendo's fanbase are the equivalent of swifties, you can give them the lowest bare minimum hardware that isn't capable at all and they will be satisfied

any criticism gets you cancelled

[unreal trail]

also Switch 2 is at least stronk enough to run FF7, Squenix wants to get its game on something they'll sell on

Switch runs Crisis Core remake perfectly fine tbj

a lot of the issue is bad/lazy programming and crappy game engines

even on PS5

games running 900p and jump between 45 and 59 FPS

strong hardware is not the solution, brute forcing lazy work with high specs is not the answer.

[misty sparrow]

crysis 2 running on switch is pretty impressive all things considered

actually playable

but the thing is with switch, some AAA games are put on there that require cloud streaming

imagine if they were put on Switch 2 and you could play them offline on raw metal hardware

[nocturne flicker]

I want to play my games on raw wood hardware

Lemme play video games on tree

[unreal trail]

brug who asked Squenix to give us KH1 streamed from a PS4?

[nocturne flicker]

Become one with nature

[unreal trail]

you yanking my cord if you trying to tell me Switch cant natively play HD KH

[misty sparrow]

it can run crysis 2 but not KH1?

-# thats kingdom hearts right?

[unreal trail]

and streaming it is literally like trying to play a youtube video with your controller in 480p

[unreal trail]

yes

Square Enix might not be in the situation they're in if they weren't so antagonistic

[misty sparrow]

they made forspoken and that shows how bad they're in'

[proud jackal]

wee woo wee woo

[dusk knot]

Why does this game still matter lol

[rancid juniper]

they still updating? dang

devs really into this project huh?

[misty sparrow]

i'm convinced the entire star citizen project is literally only used as a way to get infinite money in the easiest way possible

think about it

you make a fundraiser for a game when no development is shown yet

and then you make a half a billion off of that one fundraiser when it's not even released

[rancid juniper]

😲

[misty sparrow]

it's only taking advantage of the fact that people are stupid

buying thousands worth of ingame items on an early access game

[lone mango]

They need to embezzle more money

[dusk knot]

LMAO

[nocturne flicker]

Star Citizen believers gonna drop $3k each because of this

[sage sluice]

We all saw what happened to cyberpunk

[nocturne flicker]

Honestly don't know much about what went down with Cyberpunk besides the post release stuff because idgaf about CDPR that much and didn't get on the hype train

[sage sluice]

Cyberpunk didnt deliver much of anything it had promised, it made a lot of talk about a very customizable unique rpg experience

It in fact was not a very customizable unique rpg experience

Still a great one imo, but not what it had promised even slightly

And ofc launch was.. pitiful

[misty sparrow]

-# still better than starfield's launch and that was considered "polished"

[sage sluice]

Starfield launch was about as good as watching paint dry

Its still pretty mid

[nocturne flicker]

Except nobody honestly expected Bethesda to make anything revolutionary or unique

[sage sluice]

Better technically

[nocturne flicker]

Except maybe the uber Bethesda stans

[sage sluice]

No mans sky is another flop launch

Although ive heard its made a 180

Cant really speak to its strength now tho

[nocturne flicker]

Yes, they been making free content updates pretty much since
