when it is equipped it cuts ALL damage taken in half

[rancid juniper]

thats busted

for rpg standards

[tranquil pebble]

nah more like using the protag as damage output and the reset as support to buff the protag... then letting lose a buffed myriad truths onto the Reaper

[rancid juniper]

[tranquil pebble]

in P3R once you get to about level 70, you can start farming the reaper somewhat easy

Build up the theurgy for all characters, attack the reaper then unleash all of the special attacks in one turn

[rancid juniper]

noted

[tranquil pebble]

There are enemies this attack is basically useless for. Mostly the final boss and super bosses. I don't really count the reaper as a super boss because it's not strong enough.

[rancid juniper]

wild

[tranquil pebble]

reaper is mostly deadly if you're not prepared for it

[tranquil pebble]

have you played SMT V yet?

[rancid juniper]

no

[tranquil pebble]

you should. It runs like a dream on PC because it started out as a Switch game. The combat mechanics are also pretty great

[rancid juniper]

but is the plot engaging tho 🤔

I do have metaphor refantazio, but i haven't finished that one

[tranquil pebble]

I thought it was good enough. It has 6 different endings, and is actually a sequel to SMT 3 Nocturne

[rancid juniper]

nice

[lone mango]

I feel like deleting those comments

I hate npc stuff

It's like cringe, I am averse to both

[rancid juniper]

The fact that i could understand that

actually interesting how the brain tries to piece them up together to make a coherent sentence

[rancid juniper]

Yea they can be goofy at times but I do my best to help everyone

[elfin mural]

70% of the dram supply is going to AI in 2026

tell us when your done :)

love to see your reaction

in my opion which i still have to know why\

i HATE P5

alot

I felt nothing playing that game

it felt like P4G and P3R were TEN times better

[velvet summit]

Pretty common knowledge that razer headsets are pretty shit

[ashen swan]

is this still up :(

[craggy shoal]

You're not wrong

Hot take: Can we keep AI? Just make it more accessible to run it locally. No cloud AI like Claude and OpenAI/ChatGPT

To add to that, I can't wait until OpenAI goes bankrupt. I just want to be able to run AI locally

[ashen swan]

https://youtu.be/gJScJ_CZ4b0?si=826CyQDYSix4pcBt

[ashen swan]

That’s …. Not even a hot take

[tranquil pebble]

I already can do that on my 6900 XT. Just requires patience for larger models.

[sinful blade]

Ai should not be seen as evil

What should be, is the companies SHOVING IT INTO MY A- uh face at every chance they get

I don’t need to talk to an AI chatbot on cool math games, ya know?(there isn’t one but still)

[craggy shoal]

Exactly what I mean

I wish it was a lot more energy-efficient, too. Using a whole GPU for it is insane imo, but I know that GPUs run ML a lot more efficiently than other components

[sinful blade]

The leap for AI is a great thing
A good portion of the time, it spits out accurate information gathered, and checked from dozens of sources.

Even the US government can’t do that

[craggy shoal]

I actually like the AI summary that you get when Googling something. Sometimes I don't want to read through multiple articles/forums just to get an answer. A quick yes or no with an explanation is good and fast enough for me

[ashen swan]

i should ask my school for their old PC

install linux on them

and sell them

for like 1000 NTD

[random osprey]

better, use them for minecraft servers and charge people 🗿

[ashen swan]

to lazy to

i want to save up for a dell optiplex with a 12700 and intel Pro B50

[velvet summit]

They typically auction it off here

Like say 500 for 200 shitty PCs

Cad

Honestly it might even be lower

Typically it sells for pretty low because you are required to take all of the units

They sell for a bit higher per unit if it's in lots of 10-20 because that's more reasonable for someone to take away even in just a sedan

I feel like government owned auctions tend to be in larger lots than corporate auctions

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-anime-sad-gif-27615865

[opaque sedge]

Haven’t like most industries alr heavily adopted its use?

[velvet summit]

Technically yes
But also most of them have not made much from their investment, and are losing more money than they put in

It would probably be several years before they will break even

[opaque sedge]

Yeah ig its a neat tech but not super groundbreaking for most people… kind of like framegen

[velvet summit]

Unlike frame gen, I think AI does have a huge potential but it's way too early still

[bitter ridge]

People are mad it isn't a toggle

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that’s understandable

[velvet summit]

I'm more confused that the AI overview sometimes appears and sometimes doesn't

It appears like 90% of the time

[craggy shoal]

A lot, yes. But it's too expensive to run and it's costing AI companies too much to keep it running (specifically OpenAI)

[velvet summit]

Sometimes on the top, sometimes like a few results down

And then sometimes not at all

[worn wave]

it's actually fairly accessible to get local models but the issue is good text models need a crap ton of ram/vram

[dusk knot]

^

Even 32gb on the 5090 isn’t enough

You’ll need a few to run full, non-quantized versions

Ai is just not there yet in 2026

[random osprey]

@proud jackal you gonna buy hifiman x rog headset?

[rancid juniper]

Theo says we all, yes WE, will be playing highguard today

[elfin mural]

that pic is so ai

[random osprey]

it comes out today?

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[elfin mural]

how the hell does a car's gearbox go from fifth back to first??

two first gears

[nocturne flicker]

The gears go into a warp portal and teleport back into position for first gear

[craggy shoal]

That's the annoying part

[pliant berry]

what is highguard

[random osprey]

the internet is asking the same thing 🗿

[worn wave]

Pvevp raid shooter from the creators of Titanfall and apex legends

[velvet summit]

Money shift boobytrap

[pliant berry]

oh good im not the only one

[craggy shoal]

tf is the text on the bottom

"reb pickup truck"

[pliant berry]

oh i see

[velvet summit]

Why is the text mirrored

[craggy shoal]

Idk 💀

[pliant berry]

you mean you can't read backwards?

[craggy shoal]

I just wanted to look for SUVs to model for offroading lmaoooo

[craggy shoal]

I can but why is it mirrored? 💀

oh nah

CarGurus, what happened to you?

[random osprey]

highguard got hella money

[median kelp]

Huh the 5070Ti now costs more than the MSRP of the 5080?

[acoustic palm]

That feeling of finding a new peak artist>>>>>>>>

[median kelp]

I know prices were increasing but that's insane

[acoustic palm]

NgreedAI

[median kelp]

$1100 is the cheapest 5070Ti now

[acoustic palm]

What

The

Cheapest I’m seeing is 970 but still…

What the hell

1400$ cheapest 5080 😭

😭

😭

its a 250$ difference for 5070ti and 9070xt

yeah were cooked

[median kelp]

What site? Lowest on Newegg is $1100

[pliant berry]

I might have to switch to amd now that I am linux gamer, unless nvidia just matures really quickly for linux which I kind of doubt

[acoustic palm]

pcpp

i think its from dell directly

[median kelp]

Ah

[acoustic palm]

yeah thats like never gonna happen 😭

[median kelp]

My 5090 founders edition for $2000 seems like a bargain nowadays

[acoustic palm]

eh

i mean compared to like a 5080 rn yeah

[pliant berry]

nvidia has been working kind of fine so far but I still get frame drops and ocassional soft driver resets

[median kelp]

Compared to other 5090's too it's insane

[acoustic palm]

well

a worse thing doesnt make a bad thing good

[median kelp]

Wtf

Cheapest 5090 in stock on Newegg is $3500????

[rancid juniper]

sponsorship goes crazy

[median kelp]

It was $2400 literally in November

[rancid juniper]

finally, peak has arrived

its gonna generate 500 highguardillion dollars

[random osprey]

files galore with 2.18 tb left of free space, that better have been a 8tb drive or something 🤨

[rancid juniper]

its an 4TB HDD

[acoustic palm]

ill try it out ig

[acoustic palm]

nvm

lmao

[rancid juniper]

battlefield moment

[random osprey]

valorant moment

acutally dont remember if they needed secure boot too, just remember they needed tpm

[acoustic palm]

whats tpm again

[pliant berry]

tbh I'm surprised I haven't gotten stopped by those kinds of errors considering I've had secure boot turned off for years

[rancid juniper]

This doesn't look good

[acoustic palm]

💀

what

[rancid juniper]

dunno bro

80fps on low seems kinda wack

[acoustic palm]

maybe cause its 80fps on a really expensive computer on LOW settings

[rancid juniper]

lol yea

[acoustic palm]

WITH upscaling

[rancid juniper]

that thing probably on performance mode

[acoustic palm]

sadly

[rancid juniper]

Why they lying

[acoustic palm]

lmk how your stuff performs

whats your cpu again

[rancid juniper]

i5-13600k Overclocked and undervolted

[acoustic palm]

maybe the 5070ti person wsa lying

[nocturne flicker]

Why would you pair a 9950x3d with a 5070ti

[acoustic palm]

maybe more cpu intensive stuff

[pliant berry]

money

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

Well obviously not enough if the didn't go 5080 or 5090 with their $650 cpu

[acoustic palm]

450$ and 2650$ upcharge btw

[dusk knot]

Highguard out?

[acoustic palm]

yeah

needs secure boot and tmp though

and app it runs like dogcrap

80fps with a 5070ti and 9950x3d on low settings with dlss

[dusk knot]

[velvet summit]

Real

[dusk knot]

You got to kidding me lmao

[acoustic palm]

apparently

min specs say otherwise

[acoustic palm]

.

[dusk knot]

What about on the highest setting????

[acoustic palm]

.

[opaque sedge]

It is 80fps on the 4th fastest graphics card available for retail rn with dlss is srsly wack

[rancid juniper]

I'll have to test the game once the download is finished (as of now its 58%)

[opaque sedge]

What game?

Highguard?

[rancid juniper]

that person could be lying, its highguard

[acoustic palm]

7th fastest

not 4th

what

[opaque sedge]

Available rn

[acoustic palm]

oh

yeah

[opaque sedge]

Well actually that would make it the third

I was wrong as well

[dusk knot]

These companies keep releasing defective games and think that later patches will fix their image.

[worn night]

[rancid juniper]

noticing a trend

[rancid juniper]

also download is finished, gonna test

[random osprey]

hope it dont get 20 fps

[rancid juniper]

I'm gonna run it without any form of upscaling first

hopefully the 9070 XT can run it fine on decent settings

but idk

[random osprey]

[acoustic palm]

oh god

[acoustic palm]

ok but like what did you expect

[dusk knot]

Overwhelmingly negative coming soon

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[rancid juniper]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[random osprey]

lol

[dusk knot]

Pray you get good FPS, compooper

[rancid juniper]

ok we in

[rancid juniper]

gonna check settings now, the queue was quick for me luckily

[lone mango]

Good

[random osprey]

0 fps for 0.1% and 1% low, unplayable, uninstall already

[rancid juniper]

Game on my end doesn't have upscaling

[acoustic palm]

no fsr support??????

[random osprey]

everyone talkin Marathon is the next concord, but maybe this was the next concord

[lone mango]

Three concords

[nocturne flicker]

So they both have DLSS according to discuss pages and don't have DLSS according to this review

[dusk knot]

If you look at some of the videos with the developers, they look like the same type of folks that made concord

[random osprey]

and compoopers screenshots

[lone mango]

I actually think they took some concord devs too

[acoustic palm]

whhat is

internal resolution

[dusk knot]

Doubt

I only like the graphic techno style

The character designs are questionable

[rancid juniper]

In game (Training grounds)

[acoustic palm]

wow that

really doesnt look good

[dusk knot]

High settings?

[sinful blade]

Looks ass

Complete ass

[rancid juniper]

maxed yes

100% native resolution

[dusk knot]

Hm…

[rancid juniper]

and this is on a POWERLIMITED 9070 XT

[dusk knot]

The real performance that matters are in matches

[random osprey]

ill download game to let you know my perf with a 7800x3d and 3080 🗿

[rancid juniper]

Will get to that shortly

[dusk knot]

Ok. I have negative 10 percent interest in this game, but let’s see

[random osprey]

might take a minute

[rancid juniper]

lol, i left the training ground and now get this

back into the login queue i go

[nocturne flicker]

It seems like the Concord dev team is the only dev team they didn't get members of

[acoustic palm]

weird questioon

anyone have a burner credit card for free trails

or how would one get that

[rancid juniper]

The game uses UE5

it makes sense now

[craggy shoal]

1. Make a PayPal account
2. Apply for their debit card (free and doesn't affect your credit score iirc)
3. Use it

[acoustic palm]

mmnm

[craggy shoal]

I use that for going on road trips when I'm in a sketchy area and don't want to use my main card. I just load money onto it. It's almost as safe as paying cash for a gift card for when you need a card to pay for something online

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/laugh-chuckle-you-gif-14521742

[nocturne flicker]

When will UE5 finally die

Please

[craggy shoal]

It just takes maybe a week or whatever for the card to arrive

[acoustic palm]

ugh ok i cant do that then

[rancid juniper]

when many devs stop using it

[craggy shoal]

I think they give you the card number and other information before you receive the card, too

(from what I remember when I got mine)

You might as well get one anyways for those sketchy online purchases. I use mine for when I'm getting gas in a sketchy area

[nocturne flicker]

So never

[rancid juniper]

pretty much

still in training bruh

[acoustic palm]

holy crap that looks terrible

[rancid juniper]

Wonder if its Forced TAA

artstyle kinda falls apart

this is just medieval apex

[nocturne flicker]

Well a lot of the devs were on Apex

So that kinda makes sense

[rancid juniper]

yuh

[acoustic palm]

even apex looks better

and apex act runs well too 😭

[opaque sedge]

So is highguard shit

[rancid juniper]

training is boring so there's that

[opaque sedge]

Hey maybe older folks finally have a pvp game they can enjoy cuz it only seems to run decently in high end systems which most kids wont get

[acoustic palm]

it doesnt look to run good in high end systems

[opaque sedge]

That horse looks so out of place

[rancid juniper]

lol

[acoustic palm]

.

[velvet summit]

Quake 3

[nocturne flicker]

That's the point. The premise is what if we took every art and game style the dev team has ever worked on and slapped them together

[acoustic palm]

that sounds like a bad idea

[velvet summit]

Case study: getting over it with Bennett Foddy

[acoustic palm]

idk what the means

[velvet summit]

The game

[opaque sedge]

Holy shit whatever prev studio these devs worked at maybe the upper management wasn’t at fault this time 💀

[acoustic palm]

idk what yoyu said

[nocturne flicker]

So you've got God of War devs working with Call of Duty devs working with Valorant devs working with Apex devs working with Titanfall 2 devs and slapping together a game

[velvet summit]

[velvet summit]

Ragebait game before ragebait games were cool

[opaque sedge]

Why wouldn’t they make a single player with that kind of talent 😭

[nocturne flicker]

Ragebait games were cooler back during the flash game days

[velvet summit]

Getting over it is like the FNAF of ragebait games

[rancid juniper]

nah

[worthy meteor]

Idk if you'd want cod and valorant devs to make a single player game

[worn night]

https://tenor.com/view/king-barbie-the-king-barbie-dashiexp-dashie-gif-22295144

[opaque sedge]

They could focus on the gameplay and combat aspect

[velvet summit]

They already do that

They can't make good bots though

[opaque sedge]

https://youtu.be/ifzQV-VAB3M?si=_VyLFo-pyW-Banu- meanwhile arc raiders

Absolutely peak

[worthy meteor]

You gotta have a proper design philosophy

[nocturne flicker]

So a simple game that gets spammed with easy to make sequels that is kept alive by an ADHD and OCD fueled fanbase and Youtubers until it eventually get picked up by a bigger studio who slaps together something completely different from the rest of the games?

[velvet summit]

If they made a single player shooter game, players are just going to ask for a multiplayer mode

[rancid juniper]

cyberpunk ^

[opaque sedge]

Why cant they do both

[velvet summit]

Pretty much

[opaque sedge]

Given they have titanfall devs

[opaque sedge]

Yes they could’ve legit made a game like cyberpunk but with a multiplayer mode

[rancid juniper]

@dusk knot

[acoustic palm]

so

gta

[opaque sedge]

Fantasy gta?

[acoustic palm]

i mean

[opaque sedge]

We got regular gta and scifi gta (cyberpunk)

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/aasd-gif-21658924

[acoustic palm]

that sounds decent

[worthy meteor]

Do you really expect the company to pay the entire salaries of such expensive employees for an extra year or two for very little rewards?

[opaque sedge]

Only high fantasy gta’s missing

[acoustic palm]

lowk

dark fantasy gta

[dusk knot]

good fps COUGH COUGH

[worthy meteor]

Kcd2 though

[acoustic palm]

thatd be fire

[opaque sedge]

Thats medieval gta

[worthy meteor]

Witcher

[velvet summit]

I mean, they technically could, but they'll probably focus on the multiplayer aspect because people might not even touch the singleplayer campaign

There is a reason why battlefield stopped making singleplayer campaigns

[random osprey]

maybe highguard aint too bad 🗿

[opaque sedge]

Hmm yeah witcher might be a dark fantasy gta

[dusk knot]

honestly 107 at the character screen in kind of bad

[dusk knot]

maybe i might play to...

[nocturne flicker]

Are any of them actually getting paid a lot though? The one game they put out is free to play and basically has had no advertising done for it except some last minute hyping being done by somebody else voluntarily from what I could find

[acoustic palm]

so much for games optimizing for ram usage

[worthy meteor]

Do you remember what publisher did apex legends smh

And what publisher did valorant

And what their yearly revenue looks like

[rancid juniper]

ingame match

[rancid juniper]

ez bait

[rancid juniper]

true

[rancid juniper]

rip 8gb gpus as usual

[opaque sedge]

Things ain’t looking good for the steam machine ngl

[nocturne flicker]

This game is made by people who aren't part of those teams anymore. It has no association with those companies. So it'd have to be privately funded by the devs themselves

[rancid juniper]

fall damage is real

[opaque sedge]

Ps5 and xbox have unified memory right?

[worthy meteor]

The problem is that these devs have expectations for their salary based off their previous experience, and from the final product looking like this, it's clear that this isn't a passion project, at least not as a whole

[nocturne flicker]

Yes. So the question is, how much is being paid and by who

[opaque sedge]

[dusk knot]

for a comp game, unacceptable fps

[opaque sedge]

Maybe its a ploy by big fps

Jkjk

[velvet summit]

Watch as it's just Tencent

[opaque sedge]

Wait

[rancid juniper]

it feels choppy and sluggish with camera movement

[dusk knot]

smh

[velvet summit]

How long do I have to wait

It's been 2 minutes

[random osprey]

@rancid juniper this is what the game defaulted to for me, nothing changed

[opaque sedge]

No i just said wait in order to convey a reaction that wait u may be onto smth

[random osprey]

i have dlss option

[velvet summit]

[acoustic palm]

its

so blurry

[opaque sedge]

Wait

[random osprey]

tsr or dlss is what i have options to

[worthy meteor]

Yea I don't think their funding rounds and sponsors are public rn

[random osprey]

time to crank everything

[opaque sedge]

Tsr’s the unreal specific upscaler

Weird no fsr?

[acoustic palm]

no fsr

[opaque sedge]

Damn

[random osprey]

not showing for me and didnt show for compooper who has a amd gpu

so amd just screwed

[opaque sedge]

No loss for a game like this

[rancid juniper]

yea

[dusk knot]

95 is not good enough

[rancid juniper]

nvidia sponsored game

[rancid juniper]

ill optimize the graphics settings after the match

[random osprey]

@rancid juniper you keep your fov at 90 or maxed it?

[dusk knot]

ok

[rancid juniper]

i kept it

[random osprey]

windowed fullscreen?

[velvet summit]

Why would you want fisheye

[random osprey]

doesnt get fisheye until a certain point

which is like 170

[velvet summit]

What even is the max

[random osprey]

110

[velvet summit]

Oh

[random osprey]

the typical what most games allow

[rancid juniper]

yes

[random osprey]

everything maxed, 90 fov, windowed fullscreen with dlss, time for training grounds

how do i show which fps's are which?

[grand wasp]

looks like the post is still up, but not asking them questions anymore

[random osprey]

idk what any of these means cause they arent labeled 🗿

EW

WHY IS THERE A DELAY IN ADS?

[grand wasp]

i'm dead

[acoustic palm]

how bad is the delay

[random osprey]

almost a full second, maybe even a second. dont sound like much but for a fps game thats pretty ew

[acoustic palm]

a

second of delay?

ew

[random osprey]

turning feels weird but that can be just from sens

[worn night]

whys theres so many fps

[opaque sedge]

most of the good weapon mods in arc raiders negatively impact ads speed

[rancid juniper]

gunplay at these fps is so bad

it needs to be higher for sure

[random osprey]

framrate, frametime, framerate avg, max, 1% low, 0.1% low, but they arent labeled

[opaque sedge]

I would prolly suck at fps with high frames too

[acoustic palm]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[random osprey]

@rancid juniper how do i show the labels for the fps

[opaque sedge]

I gotta edit my overlay too

[rancid juniper]

Like the .1% low and stuff?

[random osprey]

ye, i have them but they arent labeled

[acoustic palm]

28 1% lows on 80 avg

disgusting

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[grand wasp]

@mighty egret , I forgot we remodeled the site. No it's no longer up

[rancid juniper]

@random osprey maybe this guide can help since I don't have afterburner installed https://youtu.be/cDsMNgKYhyY?si=2o3YqwR-MsQ2IYSe

I use a custom overlay for rivatuner

[random osprey]

[rancid juniper]

sorry lol

do you want my overlay instead? you can customize it later

[random osprey]

nah its fine, i dont use rivatuner much, just will do the fps ones

[rancid juniper]

okie

[opaque sedge]

This game was hyped?

[acoustic palm]

hyped?

[opaque sedge]

Other than the suck up tga guy who tf hyped it

[rancid juniper]

left: Max settings
Right: Optimized settings

[lone mango]

Ah

Peak unreal engine games

[acoustic palm]

boht looks bad

[lone mango]

Where adjusting settings does very little

[rancid juniper]

hyped by only geoff

[opaque sedge]

Why tf are there only 3 levels of each graphics settings

[rancid juniper]

wait

I messed up

i screenshotted too early

lmfao

This is the optimized settings

for setting two options on low

[acoustic palm]

my eyes hurt

[worn wave]

Resolution?

[rancid juniper]

1440p

native

[lone mango]

Is it really native though

[acoustic palm]

yes

theres no fsr

[worn wave]

Probably nasty TAA

[opaque sedge]

Still… not great for a gpu thats similar in raster to an xtx

[rancid juniper]

yuh, i got no fsr or dlss

[opaque sedge]

In 1440p nonetheless

[lone mango]

The game does not say which method is being used

[rancid juniper]

True

[lone mango]

Probably taau if it is so blurry

[rancid juniper]

The game FEELS much better now with these settings

[acoustic palm]

thats blurry enough it hurts my eyes

[rancid juniper]

TAA madness

[acoustic palm]

stop

hold on one second peeps, gonna use optiscaler to fix this slop

[acoustic palm]

that wasnt even that bad

[rancid juniper]

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

Foilage in milds legit looks like this

[acoustic palm]

that game was kinda boring

i didnt get to the point where there was foilage

[icy ore]

hmmm

[nocturne flicker]

Mmmmm

[random osprey]

@rancid juniper same settings but with dlss at 1440p

roughly same areas where you were standing

game might be cooked

[acoustic palm]

seems to be an amd game

but it has no fsr?

whnat

[rancid juniper]

this is actually unfair, it looks much sharper here

they did NO FSR or XeSS in this title

[opaque sedge]

The first map has a weather condition change where it goes from a dryass desert (with horrid frames and visuals despite being a goddamn empty desert and sand btw) to bunch of grass blooming and endemic life spawning for a bit, cool ideas but horribly and half assedly executed

[nocturne flicker]

I just had a plain hard salami sandwich on whole wheat bread. I am choking to death please send help

[rancid juniper]

Change shadows and post processing to low, these two settings are hard hitters

[worn wave]

Is the 10gb vram limiting it? Compooper's was using 9.4gb

[rancid juniper]

old ass dlss too

lmfao

[random osprey]

this is everything set to low with dlss still turned on and internal resolution still at 100%

[opaque sedge]

Thats actually dlss 4

[random osprey]

idk, dont have it on to show

[rancid juniper]

ah

[nocturne flicker]

New pfp found?

[rancid juniper]

UE5 npc

[worn wave]

Everything on low should be under 10gb. I think min spec was 6 or 8gb

[opaque sedge]

Yeah ik it off the top off my head because thats the version most milds players would swap the dll file with bfr crapcom updated it themselves 💀

[rancid juniper]

so glad i didn't buy mh wilds

[nocturne flicker]

I have abandoned Craig

[worn wave]

310 is like early dlss4 model right?

[random osprey]

everything back set to high except post processing and shadows, theyre set to low. dlss still on

[worn wave]

That's what I was manually swapping into cyberpunk when 4.0 first released I think

[rancid juniper]

much better fps

close to all low too

[random osprey]

oh wait, internal resolution is at 75%

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[random osprey]

idk how it changed bruv 🗿

[rancid juniper]

goofy game

[nocturne flicker]

Did you use a preset for low?

Maybe it changed it with the preset

[random osprey]

everything at high except shadows and post processing

[rancid juniper]

I can't use optiscaler to make the graphics look better, this game is certified ass

[nocturne flicker]

So shadows and post processing is tanking fps?

[rancid juniper]

choppy fps

[opaque sedge]

Hey its a slightly fun casual game if u give it a chance btw

[random osprey]

redid all low settings to make sure interal res was at 100%

[rancid juniper]

keep it to all low

[lone mango]

the noise is visible even on discord

[rancid juniper]

anything under 100fps in that game is trash

[opaque sedge]

I wouldn’t get it unless there’s a heavy ass discount tho cuz they’ve been dead silent abt if an expansion’s gonna happen or not

[random osprey]

everything high except shadows and post processing, dlss left, tsr right

also realized something

theres ghosting on the dude when he moves with dlss

[rancid juniper]

how the game still looks blurry is beyond me

[rancid juniper]

😭

[random osprey]

dlss

not happening with tsr, just low pixels with tsr

game is chopped boys

imagine getting into a gun fight with that

[opaque sedge]

Should i play arc raiders in native then

But cinematic and rtx global illumination looks really good

[rancid juniper]

bout to mess with it

[random osprey]

yeah, game is cooked

bro is there ghosting from the stationary light?

[rancid juniper]

NO SHOT MY GAME WAS RUN WITH TSR

That has to be TAA

TSR is much sharper iirc especially at native

[nocturne flicker]

What if you just delete TSR

[rancid juniper]

game probably dies

[random osprey]

check to see if mouse smoothing or mouse acceleration is a setting in there that isnt available in the game cause i swear theres something going on 🗿

[proud jackal]

-# just buy 5090

[opaque sedge]

Find me one for msrp

And i will

And has to be brand new from a retailer

[rancid juniper]

@random osprey

are we being fr?

[lone mango]

Because it is probably upscaling a taa image

Idk why games like this still force it when upscaling

Actually I do

It is to hide garble and noise

[rancid juniper]

Can you confirm if the post is true? Since you have an nvidia card i gotta know

[random osprey]

how i check resolution

[leaden pewter]

Beautiful 80-90fps on dlaa for me 1440p cinematic with rtgi maxed

Do it

[rancid juniper]

DLSS hud using regedit method

[opaque sedge]

I play at ultrawide…

https://tenor.com/view/traewockhardt-sad-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-16591014784735052511

Its like 30% more demanding than regular 1440p

[rancid juniper]

@random osprey https://youtu.be/FdvqkoxjAR8

you can turn it off afterwards

[opaque sedge]

Holy shit i knew the performance while bad for modern hardware looked too good for native in ue5

[acoustic palm]

ew its so blurryu

[rancid juniper]

Legit wondered why the game was so blurry despite using TSR of all things

at native

[opaque sedge]

Giving monster hunter milds devs the run for their money 💀 cuz holy shit even they weren’t this callous lmao the most they did was apply different resolution scaling levels to each graphics preset (cuz they didn’t make any proper graphical settings during development that influence the look and performance of the game other than texture settings)

[rancid juniper]

Love seeing blurry/grainy hair textures

[opaque sedge]

Like lying abt what resolution the game is actually running in is batshit insane

[nocturne flicker]

They know that UE5 is wrong to use so instead of not using it they just fudge the numbers

[rancid juniper]

No wonder why they stayed SILENT with the marketing

[random osprey]

now how do i see this in game? theres new text at the bottom left of my screen but dont see anything about resolution

[rancid juniper]

did you enable dlss?

[random osprey]

nope nvm, i see the resolution

[rancid juniper]

what is it

screenshot

[random osprey]

2048 x 1152

[rancid juniper]

no way... CHECK THE SETTINGS

[random osprey]

im at 100% internal resolution

2560 x 1440p

[rancid juniper]

NO FREAKING WAY, ~~are you using 1440p?~~

100% internal resolution as STATED by the game, and its rendering at 2048 x 1152 is what you're telling me

oh

my

goodness

[opaque sedge]

Jesus man

[nocturne flicker]

I wonder what 1080p looks like

[random osprey]

ugly ahh icon

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm

[opaque sedge]

This has to be satire

[random osprey]

changing to fullscreen instead of windowed fullscreen, resolution is still at 2048 x 1152

[proud jackal]

My monitor has been 1.5 hours away from me for the past 2 days but won't be delivered till tomorrow

[opaque sedge]

Lmao devs have put their heart and soul into this game according to this fella

[rancid juniper]

this is unreal

[nocturne flicker]

No it is UE5, not UE

[rancid juniper]

lol

[random osprey]

changed it to windowed mode, 1920 x 1080, overlay says 1536 x 864

game is cooked boys

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[dense locust]

High guard isn’t concord 2

Where the failure I was promised

[opaque sedge]

This game is abt to get waterboarded lol

[rancid juniper]

Game is beyond cooked, I don't know what they were thinking when they made this genuinely

[opaque sedge]

Quick cash grab?

[random osprey]

its free

[rancid juniper]

free game

[random osprey]

and theyve paid a crap ton of streamers to play it today

[opaque sedge]

Or maybe their unknown sponsors are trying to test the waters of the gaming market rn to see if another shooter to take hold or not

[nocturne flicker]

I imagine they limited it to 3v3 because they had significantly worse performance than they already did in testing

[opaque sedge]

Legit saw a yt short where a streamer was glazing the heck out of the game and claimed he wasn’t sponsored

[random osprey]

how do i refund highguard 🗿

[nocturne flicker]

I am leaving an hour early again tonight

[lone mango]

It is like that one chinese game

[nocturne flicker]

My paycheck

[lone mango]

It was like wukong but woman

[nocturne flicker]

It vanishes more and more

[rancid juniper]

Know what you're talking about, forgot about the name too

[lone mango]

Was it wuchang that pushed an update that faked the resolution

People kept complaining about performance so they updated it

to lower the 100% res

[rancid juniper]

Vile actions

[nocturne flicker]

UE5 games going to make upscaling mandatory

[dusk knot]

Lmaooooo

[rancid juniper]

Instead of properly optimizing effects, textures, shadows, etc they resort to this?

[nocturne flicker]

You must upscale your fake frames and you will like it

[rancid juniper]

We truly are in a fake image era

Not even 100% native resolution is safe

[lone mango]

When warframe updates their dlss to 4, I want to buy an nvidia card and compare it to their non temporal aa that they have used for so long

People always compare temporal aa solutions to upscaling

[lone mango]

All they had to do was make titanfall 3

But we got this instead

"from the creators of titanfall and apex"... not making titanfall...

[rancid juniper]

Not even a spiritual successor

Ah well

[nocturne flicker]

From the creators of Titanfall, Apex, God of War Ragnorak and Call of Duty Ghosts

[misty sparrow]

Was this the game that was revealed last at TGA

[nocturne flicker]

Ye

[acoustic palm]

https://www.newegg.com/bgears-b-blaster-140x38-case-fan/p/N82E16835132046 i may not have a brain but i have an idea

[misty sparrow]

Geoff really went on stage and was talking about how this game was revolutionary only for it to look like that

[acoustic palm]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VGS3LND wait

120mm, 220cfm?

[opaque sedge]

Regular mobo headers might not support the power it needs btw

[acoustic palm]

ugh

its slightly over 2A

since 26.4w

[opaque sedge]

And dont like regular mobo fan headers support 15w…

Correct me if i’m wrong

[acoustic palm]

they support 12w

12v 1a

[random osprey]

chat, i think they might be cooked

[opaque sedge]

Artic also has p12pros which are 3k rpm 120mm fans and p14pro’s which are 2.5k 140mm fans

[acoustic palm]

yeah

but these are uh

[random osprey]

it was at 187 reviews 2 hours when i posted the first one

[opaque sedge]

Holy shit one of the reviewes has an insane setup

[acoustic palm]

8k 120mm fans

[opaque sedge]

Hey it looks homey ok

[opaque sedge]

Imagine it brings in so much air into the case that moisture starts becoming an issue (idk if thats physically possible dont bite me)

[acoustic palm]

maybe

man

i want a lightweight electric screw driver

[nocturne flicker]

Bro uses electric glowstick as lamp

[acoustic palm]

he also bought 220cfm fans

[nocturne flicker]

Does he go blind everytime he tries to turn it off

[acoustic palm]

what do you expect

[opaque sedge]

Arc raiders has glowsticks which are nice to scare other players with in lobbies when ur agmm rating is low

[nocturne flicker]

I don't know what that means but thanks

[opaque sedge]

So most nades in arc raiders have a strong visual indicator in that they glow bright red or yellow, and the game has red glowsticks (other colors too) which are entirely harmless and just illuminate the spot they land in but when they are traveling in air they look similar to a nade being thrown

[nocturne flicker]

...

[opaque sedge]

And its fun to use em to scare raiders

[nocturne flicker]

What is agmm

[opaque sedge]

Aggression based match making

[dusk knot]

I was right…..

[nocturne flicker]

Hmmm

[rancid juniper]

They legit stole a character from street fighter / king of fighters

[opaque sedge]

U can either get matched up with pacifists or careful people who wont shoot u on sight or with absolute sweats

[rancid juniper]

bro this is KEN

[opaque sedge]

Depending on ur behavior in raids

[nocturne flicker]

I'll forget this within the hour but thank you for explaining

[opaque sedge]

Its genius imo cuz ratting and betraying actually feels punishing

[opaque sedge]

“Unique”

“Inspiring”

“Heart and soul”

[nocturne flicker]

Inspired

As in copied

[opaque sedge]

“Hate train is unjustified”

[nocturne flicker]

Well tbh the hate train was unjustified for what spurred it. The hate train for performance and the final product is justified

[acoustic palm]

it looks terrible

it runs terrible

and it doesnt even sound like anything original or fun

[opaque sedge]

@rancid juniper crimson desert looks dense man 💀 https://youtu.be/PlQgBteInK0?si=ySkuYJxU1ti5TNAr

Hope the side activities which seem like a ton aren’t boring tho

[rancid juniper]

keeping expectations in check here, the game is very ambitious

[opaque sedge]

Cuz ff7 rebirth was tiresome 70% thru

[opaque sedge]

Ambitious yes but look at the timestamps…

The amt of side activities

It almost scares me

[rancid juniper]

i feel like too much of anything will turn the player away

[opaque sedge]

Cuz quantity doesn’t equal quality

[rancid juniper]

even if its optional

[opaque sedge]

Yup happened with ff7 rebirth game was too darn bloated

It seems making a huge game is very hard

[rancid juniper]

yes because of the mundane stuff not tied to the plot is added lmfao

[opaque sedge]

What if

The plot is extended too

Has that ever been done

A game

For which the main story alone

Lasts for over a 100 hours

[rancid juniper]

thats like every other RPG game

lol

[dense locust]

90% of playtime of an rpg is the battles

[opaque sedge]

My brain must be shorting out cuz why tf am i forgetting to type down some words

[opaque sedge]

Cyberpunk’s main story is like 30 or so hours if u ignore all the side stuff

[rancid juniper]

yes

[opaque sedge]

What other rpg’s main quest alone lasts a 100 hrs?

Interested in playing one

And it better not be skyrim

[nocturne flicker]

I'd be interested. I wasn't interested in Black Desert because one look at the designs made me want to barf but if Crimson sticks with Medieval Europe/Renaissance inspired designs I might give it a try

[opaque sedge]

Honestly i was interested actually mega interested in crimson desert but that long list of side activities suddenly has me being a little skeptical

Imagine tho if they get the density just right throughout each hour played

Also they claim 4k 60 fps in native but i cant for the love of god find out on what hardware… it seems to be amd sponsored tho so likely on a 9070xt which is pretty nice for a modern day single player game

If true

[nocturne flicker]

Like no offense, but the skimpy outfits for females and big over exaggerated weapon designs are not my thing

[acoustic palm]

big weapons are cool

[nocturne flicker]

Big weapons look dumb and make no sense

[acoustic palm]

big weapons look cool and make no sense

[opaque sedge]

Same cept for the big weapons part

Big weapons are a staple in fantasy games

[nocturne flicker]

Yes and it is stupid

[worn night]

https://tenor.com/view/king-barbie-the-king-barbie-dashiexp-dashie-gif-22295144

[acoustic palm]

its a fantasy game

its not suppoosed to make sense

[nocturne flicker]

It doesn't have to make sense, sure. But it also doesn't have to be comically dumb looking

[acoustic palm]

thats subjective

most people like them, so they appeal to most ppl

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, which is why I said in the first place that it isn't for me

[opaque sedge]

Stupid things can be good at times

[nocturne flicker]

I'd make a joke but it'd be rude

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/bepalzo-monkey-computer-typing-stress-gif-16909901

[nocturne flicker]

I just personally don't like it and generally try to avoid games that use that art style. Some exaggeration I can tolerate but most of the time it gets too much for me

My ADHD brain won't let me not hyperfixate on it

[opaque sedge]

Did u enjoy kcd2?

Sounds like its the perfect game for u

[nocturne flicker]

I haven't played it or bought it. I've got the first one though and it is on the list

[opaque sedge]

Same

I got kcd2 on sale but was wanting to play kcd1 first but man…

[opaque sedge]

It is…

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

It humbles u

Immediately

Like immediately

U lose a fistfight against an old man at the start of the game

AND THATS JUST THE START

[dusk knot]

Lol

Truly brought down to ground level

[nocturne flicker]

My problem is that I just play the games I already know because I just want to relax after work, so I never get around to playing my new games

[opaque sedge]

For me it takes a while to gain momentum with a new game

Which is why i tend to like replay even single player games like a crazy amt of times

💀

[random osprey]

i have to play more single player games, i have like 4 i havent finished

[opaque sedge]

I’ve only completed like 6 single player games i think

[nocturne flicker]

I've been playing Victoria 3 for the past 3 nights.

I still have little idea what I am doing but I think I am getting somewhere

[opaque sedge]

I have a lot of games that are meant to be mega replayable in my backlog 💀

I am never finishing it

[random osprey]

why has the FF7 Remake keycards sold out at Best Buy, Amazon, and Gamestop?

in both US and Canada

[dense locust]

It’s in stock at bb for me

Probably regional

[bitter ridge]

Probably low supply to begin with

[unreal trail]

yeah looks like they've restocked now

[nocturne flicker]

Take-Two is skipping a disc launch to avoid extra costs, claiming it is to avoid story or asset leaks ahead of release*

[misty sparrow]

No physical is crazy

That game would sell a lot physically

[unreal trail]

not now

[nocturne flicker]

One final blow to brick and mortar video game stores

[bitter ridge]

I can see Rockstar delaying the game to the point that it is a day one ps6/next gen xbox title

[dense locust]

“Rockstar delays game indefinitely because they can’t afford computers”

[nocturne flicker]

Delays game indefinitely because they sold their ram

[unreal trail]

Gamestop is wheeling out their casket rn. Switch 2 isn't gonna keep them going.

[bitter ridge]

I thought the goth girl saved the company

[unreal trail]

nah

[bitter ridge]

People were extremely disappointed when they came to know she was taken

[unreal trail]

there's like 5 Gamestops still open around here, all the other stores closed

[nocturne flicker]

We've got one Gamestop and a local store in a town about 20mins away

[bitter ridge]

Console only places makes no sense if places like Microcenter carry a ps5 anyway

[nocturne flicker]

Actually that Gamestop closed, so there is one 40 minutes away

The local one is sad though

Just a store in a strip, literally can't afford decorations, just shelves of video games

Well I take it back, it has a cardboard cutout of Mario that has been sunbleached

[unreal trail]

wasn't enough people buying the overpriced geek merch to bring Gamestop back

40 bucks for a coffee cup was ridiculous

[dense locust]

A delayed game is bad
A rushed game is also bad
Unreal engine is bad

[serene shard]

hello everyone, im new here. my name is mark.

what distro is this?

[lone mango]

interesting

[nocturne flicker]

Creation Engine is bad because it has had problems for decades and no amount of work on it will fix it. It just needs to be trashed

[nocturne flicker]

Floor it in reverse nothing bad can happen frfr

[velvet summit]

get to shoveling weather boy

[nocturne flicker]

If you really are in a hurry, just rake a path in the snow along the path your tires will take

[opaque sedge]

I am trying

Barely got a quarter of it out bfr my face started freezing

[velvet summit]

you need some creatine

[opaque sedge]

There has to be a chemical or smth that can eradicate all that snow at once

Should i splash hot water on it

[nocturne flicker]

No

[velvet summit]

you're just gonna make ice

[opaque sedge]

No it would freeze in the road

[nocturne flicker]

That will freeze into ice

[velvet summit]

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

diy black ice

[opaque sedge]

My neighbors would hate me

[velvet summit]

i mean, technically salt

you still need to shovel though

with enough salt you could technically melt all the snow though

it'll lower the freezing point of water enough that it'll probably not refreeze

unless the temps drop even more

there are ice melts that work down to like -50c though
