general-chat

[mortal grail]

Don't think it's done

[sage sluice]

Is it like an eye of a hurricane maybr?

[mortal grail]

Eye of the storm lad

Yes

[sage sluice]

I dont trust it being done

[hoary zodiac]

Reee

[sage sluice]

Tornado hit it

God i can hear the sirens

Its still quiet

Light rain outside

[nocturne flicker]

I'm over near Dandridge, so I'm fine

[mortal grail]

The good thing is once it's passed over head you should be fine

[sage sluice]

Im moving in

Prepare the bedrooms

[nocturne flicker]

[sage sluice]

Its still completely calmed down

Hm

[mortal grail]

Ye the eye is calm af

But then you should hear hail next if not heavy rain

I mean, I'm not a meteorologist but I have a decent idea from all the videos I watched 💀

South or trailing side of a rotating cell tends to have the big hail

[sage sluice]

My parents are saying its fine to go back now

No hail

[mortal grail]

Hm alr

[sage sluice]

No more lightning

[mortal grail]

They'd know better since they live there lol

And have probably lived through many more

Yeah it updated I think it's gone over now

[gentle canyon]

ohio has been getting alot more severe weather it feels like in recent years

[mortal grail]

Weather is periodic

Usually like, 5-10 years the cycle resets

You see this with tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes, el nino, la nina seasonal periods

[gentle canyon]

seems like tornado alley has just shifted more east in general tbh

[mortal grail]

Could have

[sage sluice]

Any damage reports

[mortal grail]

Haven't heard anything apart from hail or strong wind

[sage sluice]

That was my first tornado

Jesus thats terrifying

The garage door was so intensely wavering

[mortal grail]

Wasn't one on the ground tho, you're fine

[sage sluice]

Fortunately

[mortal grail]

But yeah looks like the rotation went right over your head lol

[sage sluice]

Felt like it

My step dad came sprinting down the stairs

He was up watching everything

[mortal grail]

Yeah no stuffing around in real warnings lol

[hoary zodiac]

reee

[nocturne flicker]

And a gas tabker shows up just in time for the storm to end

[hoary zodiac]

gta online isn't working on linux now

[sage sluice]

Just heard it touched down on the buckies near us?

[hoary zodiac]

thanks rockstar

it's not even a new game

[mortal grail]

Ah I stopped watching

[hoary zodiac]

why did rockstar decide to screw with linux users

it was working a couple months before

I hate rockstar

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno. The bulk of the storm is over at Newport rn

[fresh timber]

I’m bored

[sage sluice]

Im alive

[rancid juniper]

✅

[hoary zodiac]

oh well

hmmmmm

[mortal grail]

Bro completed the halo reach objective

[hoary zodiac]

private GTA might still work

[rancid juniper]

oh no... NOT AGAIN

[mortal grail]

@sage sluice any news about the tornado

[icy ore]

Don’t worry it’ll only take 13 years

[icy ore]

It seems around these parts in the US when there’s a tornado warning half the time there’s not even a tornado tbh

[mortal grail]

Boy who cried tornado

Balou was genuinely nearly hit by one just now tho tbf

If not hit but unaffected

[nocturne flicker]

The major part of the storm is south of Newport and is pretty much finished being a tornado threat, the rest of the major bits of storm are going through Kodak rn and is pretty much going to be just rain and thunder

[sage sluice]

Time for round 2

[mortal grail]

Ye it's likely all better

Eh

[nocturne flicker]

I've got the first bit of thunder on the dregs now

70F, major rain storm, tornado warnings in February followed by a sheer drop of 30 degrees

The wonders of southern climate

[unreal trail]

bruh

[hoary zodiac]

thunder?

war thunder?

[tranquil pebble]

war lightning

[mortal grail]

Lightning war

[nocturne flicker]

Tomorrow is going to be a high of 56, the day after is going to be 77 and the next 59

[nocturne flicker]

I miss it being just painfully cold all the time

[fresh timber]

im bored

[rancid juniper]

mobster hunter playtest

[mortal grail]

Balaro or whatever it's called

[nocturne flicker]

[sage sluice]

An eye for an eye

[mortal grail]

Throw ur gpu at it

[rancid juniper]

atleast its over 30fps

[sage sluice]

But mone

God yeah the weather is pretty bad outside now

[mortal grail]

Tornado lives in the moment dude. Yolo

[mortal grail]

It's just big storms

Not rotation

[sage sluice]

Hell yuh brother time to chase after that storm with a lasso

[fresh timber]

is this suppose to look like this

disgusting

[sage sluice]

I know

Its just scaring my poor bird

[mortal grail]

Lol fsr moment

[sage sluice]

She never squawks in her sleep

[fresh timber]

WHY is ThiS DEFAULT??

[sage sluice]

Because its their crutch

Only way to get "reasonable" fps

[rancid juniper]

not even the latest FSR version... Capcom why

[mortal grail]

WAS IT ENABLED?M

[fresh timber]

YES

[mortal grail]

Wtf

[fresh timber]

BY DEFAULT

[mortal grail]

LMAO

[rancid juniper]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fresh timber]

the game is locked at 60fps too

[sage sluice]

Even the benchmark prompted to turn on frame gen

[mortal grail]

Anyone who turns that on on monhun wants to suffer

60ms input lag have fun

[sage sluice]

Wait what the hell and only 60??????

[nocturne flicker]

Delete Nvidia pls

[rancid juniper]

guys... I think nothing has changed since the last playtest

that vram usage tho

[sage sluice]

27 1% lows for oblivion graphics??????

[fresh timber]

i turned fsr off

[sage sluice]

I cant wait to NOT buy that game

[sage sluice]

Look at that cpu bottleneck holy

[fresh timber]

once i get done with this stupid cut scene playthorugh stupidity im testing true fps and getting chese cake

[rancid juniper]

lol

[fresh timber]

my cpu should be enough

its barley doing anything 75watts loll

[sage sluice]

67% gpu usage is crazy

What res?

[fresh timber]

1440p

the game looks like poo

i need to fix the setings

[sage sluice]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN 1440p WITH 67% GPU USAGE WHAT

This game better flop

[fresh timber]

WHY IS IT DEFAULTED TO ALL LOW

[sage sluice]

I hope it flops

[fresh timber]

THIS GAME IS LIKE

SO BAD

[sage sluice]

I hope it flops into oblivion and nobody buys it

[fresh timber]

ULTRA PRESET

lets seee if i can uncap fps

[sage sluice]

It belongs in oblivion, skyrim is next gen in comparison, you can actually not see every single frame in skyrim!!

[rancid juniper]

ultra preset enables upscaling

[fresh timber]

disgusting fps cap

n

checks out

[sage sluice]

These were best settings i found for the benchmark on gre

[fresh timber]

no more upscaling

[sage sluice]

And i only got 80 average like 50 lows

Not one percent lows btw

Fps lows

In certain busy areas

[fresh timber]

i cant tell but this game looks bad

its looks undetailed

what is this

roblox looks better

[sage sluice]

The game literally looks inferior to its own game before it

[fresh timber]

keep in mind, 51 fps

[sage sluice]

And that stuff ran better on my xbox one s than wild does on my 7900 gre

[rancid juniper]

i updated the upscaler dlls

i hope i dont get banned lmao

[fresh timber]

im getthing off this game

it looks so bad

and runs so bad

[mortal grail]

The streams ended

[fresh timber]

cyberpunk runs better

[mortal grail]

Seems the crazies are done

[fresh timber]

im not kidding cyberpunk with raytracing off looks and runs better

[nocturne flicker]

All ma bros better play a different game

[fresh timber]

id rather play the buggy mess spiderman 2

atleast that looks fine when its not glitchin out

[sage sluice]

Tornado? Yeah i just checked

[fresh timber]

2k25 looks better

[sage sluice]

Thank god

I hope there werent any deaths

[mortal grail]

You weren't excited?

[sage sluice]

No

[mortal grail]

Jk

[sage sluice]

Not when peoples live are at risk

Ill joke about it when i know people are alive

[rancid juniper]

framegeneration is still a mess

it has that weird ghosting issue

SMH

[mortal grail]

I agree but also my message was too slow to keep that as a light joke

[fresh timber]

Frame gen feels mushy to me, and I feel the latency

[mortal grail]

Net failing me

[rancid juniper]

they really haven't tweaked anything, i guess its just another network test

[mortal grail]

[sage sluice]

Fair enough

[sage sluice]

Same, i was just in a tornado

[sage sluice]

Looks like the weather map

[mortal grail]

LOL

[sage sluice]

I cant believe i actually just yoinked and brought down my pc 💀

My bird came first tho

Poor thing went to bed 20 minutes before all this started

[fresh timber]

Who wants a slice

[sage sluice]

Bluds got nothing but food on his mind

Ironically i was air frying a spicy chicken patty and toast before the storm started, by the time it ended and i remembered i was making it it was stone cold 😔

[fresh timber]

I like good

I can’t even gain weight

[sage sluice]

I like good

[fresh timber]

It’s peak

I weigh 135 I’m so pro

[mortal grail]

Kid's like half my size

Lol

[sage sluice]

I possess no ability to do that

Im 215 5'11

😭

[fresh timber]

Damn

[mortal grail]

Same kinda also not

[sage sluice]

Tbf im more stocky than fat, football genes

[mortal grail]

I have an appearance of a footballer

[sage sluice]

Actually used to do football

[mortal grail]

[mortal grail]

Bro's a protagonist

[sage sluice]

Ong

[mortal grail]

Create your character lah dude

[sage sluice]

My passion is anything and im interested in everything

[fresh timber]

i feel like this game uses too much for what it is

[mortal grail]

Heh

[sage sluice]

I dont fall under any stereotypes lmao

Or all of them simultaneously

[fresh timber]

im not going to lie, i like how spiderman 2 handels upscaling

u give it a target fps and it adjust acordingly

[rancid juniper]

indeed

[mortal grail]

I couldn't Gretel over it

[fresh timber]

wot

[sage sluice]

Gretel

[mortal grail]

Handel and gretel...

[sage sluice]

Im more of a hansel

[mortal grail]

Welp

[fresh timber]

i think i should be getting 100fps atleast in this game

[sage sluice]

Handel

[mortal grail]

Handel bars

[fresh timber]

no idea

[sage sluice]

Dont handel Bars he doesnt appreciate it

[mortal grail]

Ah I can't handel his lack of appreciation rn

Smh

[sage sluice]

I cant handel you

[rancid juniper]

oh well, imma check the discussion boards in the meantime

[sage sluice]

I hope you get turned into a potion

[fresh timber]

is it me or does this game feel fuzzy

[sage sluice]

Fsr or just bad

[mortal grail]

Like fuzzy wuzzy or

[fresh timber]

this is balanced xess now

[mortal grail]

Actually I see it a bit

[fresh timber]

this looks fuzzy

[mortal grail]

The feathering is a bit

[fresh timber]

i dont like it

[mortal grail]

Whoag

[sage sluice]

Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear?

[fresh timber]

native res

im getting off this game, i cant play it when it feels so blurry

[mortal grail]

Yeah I see it a bit ngl

[fresh timber]

they patched alt f4 nooo

[sage sluice]

Damn it they didnt even cancel school tomorrow

[mortal grail]

Haha you can't escape

[sage sluice]

Life is cruel

[fresh timber]

they didnt patch killing it in task manager

[mortal grail]

Haha you can't escape too

[sage sluice]

They canceled school for like 2 inches of snow but not a damn tornado

Rigged

[fresh timber]

They canceled mines just for 0 degree weather

Lmfao

[sage sluice]

C or F

[velvet summit]

???

[mortal grail]

Bro nearly died but a lite powdering and teachers go full panic

[sage sluice]

Id pin this if i could

[velvet summit]

[sage sluice]

[fresh timber]

[velvet summit]

[fresh timber]

or wait till i gotta go in school but refuse to cause ew

[mortal grail]

Gamble it

Aim for greater glory

[sage sluice]

F and C are so last year, i measure in K

[sage sluice]

90% of gamblers quit before they hit big

[mortal grail]

99.99%

[sage sluice]

Nah 90%, gotta give them some false hope

[mortal grail]

Real

[fresh timber]

I’m back on spiderman

[sage sluice]

Only a thunderstorm now woop woop

Hope they cancel school

They probably will

[mortal grail]

Watch it turn to snow

[sage sluice]

Apparently theres supposed to be hail and flash flooding

[mortal grail]

Go and shake a bag of flour in front of your principals window

That'll cancel school

[sage sluice]

Nah theyll think its the good stuff and check it first

Get excited then bummed out

[mortal grail]

This isn't cocaine!

It must be

...

Snow

[sage sluice]

Ice

!!

[mortal grail]

!!!

[sage sluice]

¡

Spanish people

Why dont aussies use ¡

Itd be more appropriate

[mortal grail]

Idk

We don't have spanish people

[sage sluice]

¡i¡i¡i¡i¡!i!i!i!i

[mortal grail]

Last time I saw someone Spanish was like over 10 years ago

[sage sluice]

¿¡no!?

[rancid juniper]

this is on the Lowest graphics setting at native 1440p and its still struggling to hit 60

huh...

[sage sluice]

I see plenty, but murica

[rancid juniper]

wow

in some instances it can hit 72fps but thats without much going on

you cant make this up bruh

[fresh timber]

Sounds like a bad game

Hopefully it pulls a marvel rivals and they fix it

[mortal grail]

You guys need to try lowest settings tho with bosses

[sage sluice]

God one of my favourite teachers was colombian, she was the sweetest thing in existence. Always would give us candy from there, there was this one hard candy that tasted legitimately exactly like papaya

[unreal trail]

lets go back to PS1/N64 graphics

[sage sluice]

How much storage is beta?

[unreal trail]

Devs trying to do more than they can handle

[rancid juniper]

around 21-23gb

[sage sluice]

Somehow its less than the benchmark??

They shouldve released the benchmark as the full game, then you wouldnt feel the input lag

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

i wanna see you try this game on your rig

im curious

[mortal grail]

I don't wanna try this

Lol wat

[rancid juniper]

😏

[sage sluice]

Im gonna try it on my gre for optimal 1440p experience

[mortal grail]

This game looks awful man

I was lost when frame gen appeared

[sage sluice]

Makes starfield look optimized

[mortal grail]

I do wanna play tokyo tho

[mortal grail]

This game is great because of the memes

[rancid juniper]

goated game

[sage sluice]

Tokyo what

[rancid juniper]

TOKYO XTREME RACER

[sage sluice]

Sounds like a knock off of drift lmao

[fresh timber]

Dog

[rancid juniper]

[sage sluice]

Not enough for me a hermit to know about it

This might take contender for one of the worst triple aaa experiences yet

[mortal grail]

These are all old af!

LOL

[sage sluice]

Cyberpunk on launch, the wonderful "AAAA" open world pirate title by ubisoft inferior to their own game from over a decade prior, so many

This is a cake taker

All i know is the fact i preferred indie even before all of this has only been strengthened

Elden ring and baldurs gate are the only big more recent titles ive accepted

Also thought wilds was downloading this whole time LMAO

[mortal grail]

You lot really missed the golden age of games

Back when I was a kid EVERYTHING was good

[sage sluice]

Not at all, if anything now is the best time ever to experience it

[lone mango]

Fr

[mortal grail]

Very rare games were like complete trash

[worn wave]

Nahhhh

[mortal grail]

True, emulators

[sage sluice]

Yep

Plus good hardware is more affordable

[worn wave]

Even if you can go back and play old games it's not the same as playing them when everyone else is

[sage sluice]

I just started bioshock a couple months ago

Revisited sonic adventures 2, that was a blast to the past

[sage sluice]

Who cares

Idgaf

Maybe some old halo games

[worn wave]

I guess it depends if you're a multiplayer kinda person

[sage sluice]

Yee

I played mostly singleplayer

[worn wave]

I was a bit too young for golden age BF, COD, Halo. But I caught Minecraft at a good time

[sage sluice]

Gaming was better when less people knew about it

[sage sluice]

Same with mc honestly, and yeah i was too young as well

I caught terraria at a good time too, stampy lets plays were 🔥

[worn wave]

I forget who said it but "a game for everyone is a game for no one" is so based

[sage sluice]

No experience should be universal

Because thats bland

We all know what bland tastes like

[worn wave]

Unfortunately modern day monetization in multiplayer games is leaning towards making the games appeal to everyone

[sage sluice]

A good game should be like trying cakes

Some are better, some are worse, but people always vary

[worn wave]

Oh, it was the Arrowhead CEO (Helldivers)

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[sage sluice]

Unironically before roblox became the hellhole it is now it used to be a million times better

You could actually talk in chat

Lmao

Games were made by people having fun not just developers

It wasnt ran by children

[pliant berry]

opening up the marketplace turned it into a meme goldmine though

[sage sluice]

Honestly had more of that old internet wild west feel, where you wanted to see everything

Now the internet is just boring

You only go on the few websites

[pliant berry]

you just gotta dig deeper into the iceberg

[sage sluice]

Its entirely dominated by bots

[fresh timber]

I’m bored of gaming, once I beat spiderman 2 I’ll have nothing els to play

[sage sluice]

True, but theres a good bit more shady stuff too now

[sage sluice]

Gaming i think should return to some of its older routes. A side hobby, not a drug

People need to touch grass, i dont even mean it harshly

People arent interacting enough

People are more closed off as the internets developed

[fresh timber]

What is grass

I only know computing

[sage sluice]

No need to explore the world when its in your hand right?

As much as i love tech

Its like candy

[fresh timber]

I live in America, I walk outside and get shot

[pliant berry]

the solution is to bring back club penguin

[sage sluice]

So true

[pliant berry]

that was the beginning of the end

[sage sluice]

Me when we flippin they ice burgs

[pliant berry]

the tipping of the iceberg

[sage sluice]

Honestly i think pokemon go was the last time people generally interacted more with tech

People were stupid and died because of it but

[mortal grail]

Fr

[sage sluice]

Too lazy to watch, whats the funny

[mortal grail]

Reddit no good with question

[sage sluice]

What never

Reddit knows best

[fresh timber]

Cr

[sage sluice]

Its all knowing

[fresh timber]

I gave up asking others for suggestions

[mortal grail]

Unga bunga google

[fresh timber]

They say useless nonsense

[sage sluice]

I was looking up wilds benchmark reviews and saw people saying "yall are overreacting the performance is fine just use frame gen"

[proud jackal]

jesus christ micron ddr5 is terrible

waste of resources and materials

[mortal grail]

Welcome to the brain rot

"Just use frame gen"

"I use hall effect switches for 0 lag"

"I have perfect internet latency"

Meanwhile +70ms system lag

MH community is cooked

[sage sluice]

People talk out their ass when they dont know anything

[mortal grail]

[sage sluice]

The more you know, the more you know you know nothing

[mortal grail]

Might as well play on a geforce now subscription

You'd have better fps AND latency

[sage sluice]

From my knowledge fortnite is like the only competent thing on that service 💀

[pliant berry]

I remember the good old days using geforce now for free on a mac mini

[mortal grail]

What happened

[sage sluice]

Mone

[pliant berry]

yeah the beta ended and now it cost money. towards end of beta it got pretty congested too. had to wait in queue

[mortal grail]

Costs money now?

I thought you had a free tier no?

[sage sluice]

If it's free, it doesn't cost enough

[pliant berry]

they didn't have tiers before

[worn wave]

Pretty sure there's a free tier but the wait is long and the session time is limited

[sage sluice]

Why will people spend so much on console and pc stuff yet they ain't ever paying money for mobile games

[worn wave]

I mean, a lot of paid games on mobile can also be bought and played more enjoyably on PC

[sage sluice]

True

[misty sparrow]

Yeah this is correct

[worn wave]

or in other words: a lot of good paid mobile games are PC ports lol

[misty sparrow]

Even though we have more powerful hardware to play old games at a cheaper price, it doesn't really match what it's like to experience the old games at their peak

[sage sluice]

Lol true

[mortal grail]

[misty sparrow]

I really wanted to see what Halo 3 was like at its peak back in the day

[mortal grail]

Fun af dude

Tho I liked reach way more

[misty sparrow]

Millions of people playing Halo

[mortal grail]

More complete suite

[misty sparrow]

Nowadays no one knows what Halo is

[velvet summit]

wdym

[sage sluice]

Halo melted so badly

[misty sparrow]

you don't see it in the mainstream as much anymore

they fumbled the bag so bad

[velvet summit]

i mean

[mortal grail]

Cos 343 never released a good halo is why

[worn wave]

Like it's not nearly as culturally relevant

[mortal grail]

Fight me on that point

[velvet summit]

you dont see them in mainstream but i think most gamers should have at least heard of halo and or the theme

[mortal grail]

I hate all the 343 halos

[misty sparrow]

infinite was okay just campaign was bland

story was bland but had good ideas

[sage sluice]

I go return to my bestial slumber

[misty sparrow]

it's like, whenever 343 had a really good chance for a story the next game would come and revert all the plotpoints of the previous game

[mortal grail]

And guardians was just odd with the campaign

Didn't feel original either

[worn wave]

Also something to consider is how targeted ads + a lot more games releasing likely means the average person who doesn't really game probably doesn't see many ads for games

[misty sparrow]

They were high, and wanted to copy Call of Duty

[mortal grail]

4 was just 3 but worse

[sage sluice]

Halo Netflix

[mortal grail]

343 literally carbon copied halo to death

[mortal grail]

Dude infinite was a doom clone

💀

[misty sparrow]

Microsoft just isn't great at managing their studios

[mortal grail]

That grapple crap was 1000% a doom copy

Only other game doing it at the time and just before them with the banger that was eternal

[sage sluice]

Microsoft just isn't great at managing their studios

[misty sparrow]

if they didn't mismanage their studios bungie probably would've stayed with MS

imagine if they got creative freedom like naughty dog at PS

[mortal grail]

If sony didn't mismanage bungie then bungie wouldn't be effectively pronounced dead either

[misty sparrow]

it's funny

they escaped one bad company and went to another, then escaped that bad company

and now went to another bad company

what is the logic there?

you would think by three times they wouldn't do the same thing

[fresh timber]

They should bring back sky landers.. a game where you can go as far as a Wii, and as high as ps4 and all your characters work

U can littelry grind somebody on a Wii, and go play them on your PlayStation, it’s so cool

[wise wigeon]

in this economy people arent trying to buy the same game multiple times

[mortal grail]

Perfect way of putting it

Sums up how I feel about so many games these days

It's like windows 10 to windows 11 for me lmao

Like it's just a remask, effectively identical

💀

[rancid juniper]

just worse

mmm whats that word

[misty sparrow]

i don't really get it

[rancid juniper]

ENSH----

[mortal grail]

what's the joke?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[rancid juniper]

enpoopification

[wise wigeon]

sometimes I dont understand amazon

why you lie to me

[rancid juniper]

but change the word poop to the popular profanity word

✅

[fresh timber]

But it’s not the same game

[pliant berry]

you mean amazon has told you a truth at some time?

[rancid juniper]

bunch of these odd looking lions

[mortal grail]

Furry polygons

[fresh timber]

People still buy the latest 2k games and they are the same thing lollll

[fresh timber]

Poly

[rancid juniper]

lol

[mortal grail]

Many cases it is tho, it's just a slight twist on an old great

Some love that

[fresh timber]

Yet they made the diffrent and fun

Who ever complained about a new sky landers

Nobody did

[mortal grail]

That's the thing, for others it's just the same experience

It's not unique enough

[misty sparrow]

i liked the skylanders where you can swap two halves of the skylander figurine to create a new one

that was cool

[fresh timber]

Excatly

[mortal grail]

You'll find this in a lot of people, often if you've played one or two pokemon games you've NEVER played any of the others

[misty sparrow]

obviously all of the skylanders games are really damn similar

[mortal grail]

It's a great example cos Pokemon didn't change for DECADES

[fresh timber]

Pokémon is another case of the same gene just very popular

[misty sparrow]

it's basically the same thing repeated

[fresh timber]

They will littlerry sell two versions of the same game where one is the past and one is the future

[mortal grail]

Ye it gets boring when that's all that really changes

[fresh timber]

And they sell like hot cakes

[misty sparrow]

it's funny how pokemon has gotten away with it for so long

[mortal grail]

Slight twist

Yawn

[fresh timber]

Because they are good games still

[mortal grail]

Give something that actually feels like an overhaul

[misty sparrow]

they sell a new game with the same bland gameplay and little innovation, and they charge two versions of it

[fresh timber]

The spiderman games are the same yet everyone loves them loll

[misty sparrow]

at least they innovate a bit

[fresh timber]

2k 25 is the same as 24 and people still love it

[misty sparrow]

sports games are trash and everybody knows it

[mortal grail]

And then you get a random ass game like lethal company and the internet goes insane

Cos it's original af

Or among us

Fall guys

[rancid juniper]

hopefully the next pokemon game is something entirely different

[fresh timber]

Yet people still end up buying them then spending hundreds on in game items

[mortal grail]

To name a couple

[misty sparrow]

and then you get something like Palworld which takes the pokemon concept and breathes new life into it

[pliant berry]

i want to play lethal again

[misty sparrow]

and then you get sued by Nintendo for outdoing Pokemon

[mortal grail]

Rocks the internet

Yeah exactly

[rancid juniper]

i gotta play that game again

[mortal grail]

There's a clear divide here

[velvet summit]

Oh heck I'm cracked???

#Bandle #Heardle

[mortal grail]

Some people don't mind the same flavour twice

[misty sparrow]

did they ever remove those capture balls from palworld

[fresh timber]

Then Nintendo patents something that is so stupid so now the game gets ruined

[velvet summit]

How tf I guess that

[fresh timber]

You can’t throw them anymore

[mortal grail]

Others cannot bother with the same thing twice

[misty sparrow]

came out after the game came out which is dumb

[velvet summit]

I looked at the release year and popularity and was like "hmm yes"

[mortal grail]

Or at that point maybe three, four, five times

[misty sparrow]

i don't know how law works but patent was made well after the game released

[fresh timber]

I will never support nintnedo

[fresh timber]

I’m pretty sure patents are for original ideas..

[mortal grail]

Nintendo is a great example of it tho

[misty sparrow]

what if I went over to Japan and just patented the entire XP system

every game would owe me money

[fresh timber]

Not, I know this consept has been used already.. but ima patent it anyways

[mortal grail]

If you've played 1 mario kart you have genuinely played them all

Zelda

[fresh timber]

7-8 are the same yet they sell

[mortal grail]

Mario brothers

Kirby

[fresh timber]

Same but they sell

[wise wigeon]

man I just wanna be done with this build

[mortal grail]

They all very rarely actually innovate

[fresh timber]

Notice a trend

People don’t care if it changes

[misty sparrow]

at least for the new games they differentiate themselves from the old games and feel fresh

[mortal grail]

See but also many people care they don't change

[misty sparrow]

i mean with Mario Bros Wonder i don't know how they came up with any of the stuff

[fresh timber]

Remastered games are funny

[misty sparrow]

it's like they took crack and made all the levels

[mortal grail]

You're looking at it glass half full not half empty

[fresh timber]

Nintendo seems to have figured it out

[wise wigeon]

no always

[mortal grail]

It's still slop

[fresh timber]

Cheaper and more profit to sell slop

[misty sparrow]

so basically by this logic

[fresh timber]

People will still buy it

[mortal grail]

You don't catch old folk back into a genre with slop

[wise wigeon]

cheaper?

[fresh timber]

They want to make money

[misty sparrow]

Half-Life 2 is basically the same as Half-Life 1 according to this logic ig

[fresh timber]

They will do it as cheap as possible

[mortal grail]

It goes even deeper

Why would I buy the new same one

When I own the same old one

[fresh timber]

Because your stupid and do it anyways

[mortal grail]

I can just fire up the old one

[mortal grail]

Except I don't

[fresh timber]

Cause it’s old

Duh

[mortal grail]

When you get older you don't care for that tiny difference lad lol

[fresh timber]

Why would I buy the new one when I get it for free, I mean pay

[mortal grail]

Oh it's a sandwich but now it has cheese on it

Still a sandwich

[fresh timber]

As I got older I stopped paying

[mortal grail]

💀

[fresh timber]

I realize $60 for a game is stupid when free

Don’t dig into free much

[mortal grail]

Valid but evades the discussion

[fresh timber]

It’s a valid way to play the same slop kek

[mortal grail]

Yeah I wouldn't deny it. Why pay for the same product twice

Lol

[fresh timber]

Let the company make the slop, doesn’t make my life even less sad

[misty sparrow]

yeah but anyway for sequels to games if they innovate enough and differentiate themselves from the previous game i'd say it's innovating

[mortal grail]

I said the same about a 5080 I'll say it about a game too

Lol

[fresh timber]

If it’s a different story or continuing in the story I’ll pay for it

[misty sparrow]

but for pokemon when the gameplay is fundamentally the same and they've gotten away with the same format for so long

the same cookie cutter gameplay and attention to detail

[mortal grail]

But that's it. It's the DIFFERENCE that defines it. For many a slight rehash or even slight story deviation isn't enough

[fresh timber]

If it’s like the 2k games where they add the new players, and change the teams according to irl and such, I’ll pay

[misty sparrow]

hell they couldn't even bother to add any animations to the Pokemon's attacks for years, even when they had 3D models

it's just an effect on the screen

[fresh timber]

Slight enough for me to watch a 30min YouTube video?

If it’s Pokémon idgaf

[mortal grail]

Eh?

But that's your choice lol

When you get older you'll see what I mean better lol

[fresh timber]

Stuff like fighting games like Batman and spiderman, I’ll pay

[fresh timber]

How old do u think i am

lol

[mortal grail]

You're still in school no

[fresh timber]

Correct

[mortal grail]

Case closed

[fresh timber]

??

[mortal grail]

[fresh timber]

But how old do u think i am??

[velvet summit]

Felix is older than you probably think

[mortal grail]

Idk I'm not here for 20Q

[fresh timber]

Of course he is lmfao

Everyone’s pretty much older than me

I think I give off 16 year old vibes

Lmfao

[velvet summit]

How old do you think Felix is

[mortal grail]

Imo people are still kids until 25

[nocturne flicker]

Felix is 84

[pliant berry]

it's like avatar. essentially the same story with slightly better graphics

[mortal grail]

I am 1984

[velvet summit]

No that's falcie frfr

[fresh timber]

24

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/1984-gif-19260546

[mortal grail]

Cold

[fresh timber]

Depending on how much of a uplift, and if I have the old game or not, I’ll pay

[misty sparrow]

35

[pliant berry]

im not trying to say the new avatar movie was bad. but if they come out with more they better get more creative

[mortal grail]

Colder

[misty sparrow]

in dog years

[mortal grail]

Ice cold

[fresh timber]

Take og crash Bandacoot and make it 4k raytracing. I’d buy it

[mortal grail]

[fresh timber]

But why buy when free stuff

[mortal grail]

I'd just load up an emulator and play the old one

[misty sparrow]

okay i just looked at human to dog years i did not think it was that low

[mortal grail]

It also wouldn't come with 30 thousand bugs

[misty sparrow]

good lord how do they estimate this stuff

[mortal grail]

Bro literally called me a toddler LMAO

[velvet summit]

Guys Felix is actually 243 years old say hello to our first neweggian duocentenarian

[fresh timber]

It looks like a millimeter of foam

[fresh timber]

I like it lmfao

[wise wigeon]

disgusting

[fresh timber]

It’s a nice chair

[velvet summit]

Can't even recline

[fresh timber]

Comfy, helps my poster unlike my old one

[fresh timber]

I didn’t want reclining

[wise wigeon]

"gaming" chairs are a scam

[pliant berry]

that's usually how those chairs work

[fresh timber]

No scam

It was $70

And I didn’t pay for it

[wise wigeon]

if you wanna suport your posture get an office chair

[mortal grail]

You know this would look nice af if you bought like $10 in zip ties

[nocturne flicker]

No need chair have bed

[misty sparrow]

this is the real deal

[nocturne flicker]

Use it

[fresh timber]

Disgusting

Doesn’t fit my aesthetic

[nocturne flicker]

Bed = free chair

[fresh timber]

Real man’s chair

[wise wigeon]

and what is that aesthetic

[fresh timber]

What if u don’t have a bed

[nocturne flicker]

Be sad

[fresh timber]

Gamer rgb grrr

[mortal grail]

This is the kind of chair my best friend would have in his living room unironically

[atomic mist]

K/d in every shooter of 20

[wise wigeon]

bad aesthetic

[fresh timber]

Have you seen my rgb light bulbs

[velvet summit]

Honey we have guests
Bring out the fine China

[mortal grail]

HHAHAHAHA

Bring out the spongebob fine china

[wise wigeon]

I would gladly prefer to go to my grave without seeing them

[mortal grail]

I FORGOT THAT MEME DAMMIT

[fresh timber]

Ima make you see them now

[atomic mist]

Did you spend more money on light bulbs then your chair

[nocturne flicker]

Yo wanna see my light bulbs?

[wise haven]

I thought that was normal to spend more money on light bulbs then chair

[mortal grail]

Yo

[atomic mist]

[mortal grail]

Is that a pulsar

[fresh timber]

Idk, I ain’t buy them.

[nocturne flicker]

This one is ded

[atomic mist]

That’s fair

[pliant berry]

I mean I have a couple hundred $ in lights but I think my chair is still more. always important to have a chair that won't kill you or give you back pain

[fresh timber]

I need to get a smart switch so I’m not cutting power off them

[mortal grail]

Crazy? I was crazy once

[fresh timber]

You’re gives you back pain?

[misty sparrow]

They locked me in a room

[mortal grail]

A rubber room

[fresh timber]

Mines gave me back pain cause my poster was ass, but it’s goin now

[mortal grail]

With rgb

And rgb makes me crazy

Crazy?

I was crazy once

[fresh timber]

Crazy? I was crazy once

[atomic mist]

The most expensive things in my room bed-> pc -> gaming chair

[fresh timber]

Currently it’s my pc

[pliant berry]

mine old one did massively. chair was too far back and couldn't recline forward enough to actually support back when using pc

[fresh timber]

After that is my dead laptop, then my phone, then my 2nd pc

After then I lost track

[fresh timber]

My old one was 6 years old, stripped bolts, broken hydronic, breaking fake leather, loose, wobbly, it was finished

[atomic mist]

I need to make or buy a new desk… I cheaped out

[misty sparrow]

get a job

[pliant berry]

I need a new desk too, sadly that is still pretty far down the to do list

[fresh timber]

I wanna get a desk with built in cable management

I kinda gave up

[atomic mist]

Thinking about stealing a friends butcher block counter top and cutting it to size

[fresh timber]

I can manage a pc, but once I added a 2nd pc, and networking equipment and a ps5.. it got out of control

[nocturne flicker]

Just drill a hole into your current desk and shove cables in, problem solved

[velvet summit]

My room:
Bed -> 2nd bed -> nothing else really

[fresh timber]

Wot

That doesn’t solve anything

[nocturne flicker]

Problem solved

[velvet summit]

Pc is in the living room since my room has no room for VR (also it's closer to the kitchen)

[atomic mist]

Damn that’s fancy you got more then one room

[pliant berry]

you have... 2 beds???

[velvet summit]

Yrah

Yeah

Both for me

[pliant berry]

but why

[velvet summit]

One of them is technically a chair

I sleep on the chair

[pliant berry]

does it like.. depend on how your feeling

today I use this one

[velvet summit]

Real

[misty sparrow]

can i sleep in your chair

[pliant berry]

is this like a lazyboy chair... or perhaps.. a wooden chair

[atomic mist]

Back pain?

[velvet summit]

One bed is used for storage and the other is used for sleeping

[pliant berry]

[fresh timber]

I’m tired good night pookies

[velvet summit]

It's like a garden swing that folds down and I have it in my room for some reason so I have 2 beds

I can convert it back to a chair

[atomic mist]

Oh that’s fun tbh

[nocturne flicker]

I only have one bed. But I have 5 guns. That means I win

[mortal grail]

343 got a weekend bed

[velvet summit]

The napping bed and the sleeping bed

[misty sparrow]

do you have a shotgun next to your bed? that means i win

[pliant berry]

oh interesting

I buried all my guns and golden coins in my basement

No references here

John wick style

Do you have to break concrete too

[nocturne flicker]

I keep all my silver in the second bedroom

[misty sparrow]

i hope you don't have a dog...ooh

-# John Wick 4 is probably the worst John Wick

[atomic mist]

Second dog is a John wick dog

First doggo isn’t mine but I love him

[nocturne flicker]

The most exposure I've had to John Wick is Luigi Wick. Which has connotations in 2025

[mortal grail]

Mario wick

Lets a kill

[fresh timber]

I just realized thousands of students use Linux everyday cause of chrome os

[velvet summit]

Honestly it probably could have ended on the 2nd or 3rd one yeah

[velvet summit]

Can barely be considered Linux

[mortal grail]

"slop"

[fresh timber]

Technical Debian irrc

That was my random night night ideas

[velvet summit]

Doesn't matter what it's based on, when all they get to interact with is chrome and some web apps

[pliant berry]

for some reason I don't think I was a huge fan of the second wick movie

[pliant berry]

don't remember too well though

[mortal grail]

I need to start acting like the lunch lady when I suggest pc's

[fresh timber]

Yeah, but still Linux

[mortal grail]

"Ya like playing AAA slop, sport?"

"Here's ya lunch"

[fresh timber]

I’m not arguing that it’s a glorified browser, I’m just saying that it’s technically a Linux distribution

Their for thousands of students use Linux

[velvet summit]

That's fair enough I guess, though technically also so misleading that it could be made into a news article

[mortal grail]

Counterpoint

Is a gaming pc a gaming pc if it can only play browser games

I love philosophy

[pliant berry]

"millions of students use unix based systems"

[fresh timber]

What do you identify a gaming pc

[misty sparrow]

Hear me out this might be a controversial opinion, but

John Wick 1-3 had emphasis on story and atmosphere and combined it with action

John Wick 4 is basically just raw action

[fresh timber]

They use Debian

That’s what chrome os is based off of

[nocturne flicker]

If the PC's primary purpose to play games it is a gaming PC

[mortal grail]

One that can play any game in it's relevant time period at a reasonable fps

[misty sparrow]

Sure John Wick 4 is a great movie but not the best John Wick

[fresh timber]

If it’s main purpose is to game, it’s a gaming pc

[pliant berry]

I did enjoy wick 4 but I gotta say so action sequences are exhausting

[velvet summit]

Honestly I don't remember much of anything outside of like the opening scenes of the first chapter

[fresh timber]

Pc is personal computer, anything before that is what ever u use it for

[atomic mist]

How many pc’s were “gaming” when crisis released

[velvet summit]

The entire series wasn't exactly that memorable imp

Imo

[mortal grail]

Supercomputers can play games

[fresh timber]

Is that its main purpose?

[misty sparrow]

you don't remember the speech in the first movie where the main russian mob boss guy goes "I saw him kill three men in a bar....with a pencil"

[mortal grail]

Therefore are gaming PC's

[fresh timber]

Nobody said that

[pliant berry]

there were certain parts that stuck out. like I really liked the fight in the hotel, end of 3

[fresh timber]

That’s not its main purpose at all

[nocturne flicker]

Is the primary purpose of the supercomputer to game? If so yes, is gaming PC

[mortal grail]

Chromebooks main purpose is to use a web browser so their main purpose is to be a web portal tbh

[fresh timber]

If your weird yeah lmfao

[atomic mist]

Imo a gaming pc is any system that can run doom.

[fresh timber]

They are just a personal computer, aka pc

[misty sparrow]

if it can run crysis it's a gaming PC

[mortal grail]

This is true

[fresh timber]

I don’t think my Chromebook can run crisis

I don’t even use it lmfao

[fresh timber]

I haven’t touched it in weeks

[fresh timber]

So happy I have a ps5

[rancid juniper]

i can wait

[velvet summit]

Supercomputer technically has its own definition, and a regular PC as well as a gaming PC doesn't qualify

[fresh timber]

I won’t nerd

[tacit quiver]

certain consumer chromebooks can run standard linux programs now i believe, but enterprise/education chromebooks can have that disabled by their institution. mine did :(

[mortal grail]

If the pc is more powerful than a supercomputer it is also a supercomputer

[misty sparrow]

I had a Chromebook that struggled to run Solitaire in the Chrome web browser

[fresh timber]

I belive you can fry a chip or something to get past it, aka it’s more work than it’s worth

[atomic mist]

That requires pc 2 to release tho

[tacit quiver]

lol yeah

[velvet summit]

Minimum requirements of being classified as a supercomputer is that it is a cluster of systems pretty much, at least that's my definition

[fresh timber]

Mines struggles to use its own damn browser

[mortal grail]

Therefore any new pc in 2025 is more powerful than old ibm supercomputers
