[compact cave]

but I have no other issues

I think COD doesn't like borderless, it happens when I flip back and fort

[manic mural]

If xmp is on, try with xmp off, and try dism and sfc for windows

[compact cave]

because exclusive is fine

ahh I see!!

Typically gap would be wide, then they run...?

[tulip linden]

what if he just clocks it at like 5940?

[manic mural]

What

The multipliers are only x100 or x133, and for checking stability, it's better to just run it at jedec and see if it crashes at all

[compact cave]

This youtube video says that setting it to exclusive also fixed his isssue, insane

(I assume it's a man)

[tulip linden]

ahh... it was just a quick guess, idk, id still try 5900 ._.

[compact cave]

I will try this

I am not saying it will work, I am just saying my observation and his

doesn't mean it was the real fix

[manic mural]

Definitely worth a try if you think fullscreen will fix it, but try other fixes if it still crashes

[compact cave]

I will, thanks guys!

my brother’s pc runs roblox smoothly but i was raised on mobile so i keep getting my ass handed to me💔

[weary compass]

Rip UW users, maxes out at 2560x1440p.

[weary compass]

Damn my favorite game it's been a while

[glass temple]

might poke around more; from what i'm seeing it works flawlessly at 21:9 and does support 32:9 gameplay but cutscenes are wonky

[weary compass]

Yeah no sense forcing it if cutscenes arent natively supported

maybe they will give a update for it if theres enough chatter asking about it

[glass temple]

I think you should at least be able to get 21:9 without black bars on the top/bottom though

[glass temple]

https://primagames.com/tips/how-to-fix-the-indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-ultrawide-issue-on-pc
fix for cutscenes

not sure how to get it to actually display ultrawide though

[manic mural]

tried using lossless scaling?

[crystal totem]

No 4k??

[weary compass]

Nope

[glass temple]

I find that hard to believe esp since there are multiple videos and posts about people playing it on ultrawide

[weary compass]

Maybe i didn't do those workaround mentioned here

[weary compass]

Im a dum dum goober

or either the fix provided by steviejoe66 fixed it.

[calm reef]

[brazen geyser]

i actually screamed so loud bc it was a nasty shot

this was my friends clip not mine

[pale basin]

i posted this a while i think for my warframe gamers and ive improved on this video due to a "feature" in the latest 1999 update

184% haste mote has been beaten quite a bit

oop, no nitro, video can only be 10mb

have to do the low res one

but 1833% haste mote

[manic mural]

yea uh the calendar buffs make ability strength crazy

[pale basin]

de really didnt think to put a cap on it

[manic mural]

just get a nidus and you can have 10k ability strength easily

[pale basin]

they put a hotfix out earlier today but no update on aoi for that ability

[pearl scroll]

[upbeat oar]

I'm really tempted by the new Mac mini but how in the world would I play Tarkov

[pearl scroll]

Oh that’s right they did the engine swap

My friend is getting huge performance gains

[pearl scroll]

Im getting about 30% less performance in warframe on linux

Kinda brutal ngl

I remember getting a dip in fps at hollvania and it went down to 58

[upbeat oar]

I've heard the biggest problem is to get the anticheat to work

[pearl scroll]

Was there ever any anticheat to begin with

[pale basin]

ive gone even further

sushi when he actually wants to stand in the health mote to heal, he has 155k hp

[pale basin]

@manic mural @pearl scroll i just got up to 6111% for my haste mote before it started costing too much for me to use my ability

i tested the fire rate of it on the grimoire. im faster than a c-ram

and also the video can potentially cause a seizure/epilepsy

[manic mural]

what about the zenurik or whatever thing that gives you a free ability once in a while

[pale basin]

yes

thats what i was using

[manic mural]

how does it get too expensive for that to work

[pale basin]

its +2% ability stre -1% ability efficiency for 5 seconds, the free ability use is only every 10 seconds

when timer runs out, then it resets the ability stre

[pearl scroll]

[ripe nimbus]

photo mode moment

[pale basin]

oop no, takes longer. im at level 2 for the ability that doesnt use energy and its at every 70 seconds for a recharge

max level would be every 60 seconds

[pale basin]

so now i found out why it "starts to cost too much for my abilities"

even though im using my abilities and moving around a little, after a while the game thinks im afk or macroing so it just stops giving me energy. to counter it and make the game im still there, even though i am to begin with, i just go to drifter mode and use an ability and switch back

but it definitely still costs a bit of energy as i get higher and higher. also i got kicked from the mission for staying too long, 37 minutes in a exterminate mission

got it higher though. if it was a survival id definitely be able to get it higher but i really dont wanna deal with enemies while trying to do this

[pale basin]

yes its in veritcal, i already rendered out the video for tiktok and too lazy to make it normal

this is much faster than the 6111% haste mote but the video is a lot more tame in comparison cause in the 6111%, i started shooting the wall behind me and it could probably trigger some peoples epilepsy

[digital fractal]

Does anyone here play Marvel Rivals?

[tacit jackal]

@dim bridge dontcha just love it?

Forgot just how fun The Finals is when you have competent teammates

I left and it said i wouldn't be penalized but then

[wind vector]

AA is funny

[wind vector]

oh my god

agility + aa is op

logistics is not my forte

[wind vector]

Funny enough this is the best I've done

Usually I just overspend on navy and barely have any air and army production

Now my airforce + aa is decent enough to stop the allies from strat bombing me

And the land deficit isn't too annoying because the cas makes up for it

• I haven't invaded France yet

[manic mural]

AI doesn't prioritize planes that much and their designs kinda suck so you can just get like fighter 2s early and do something like this

[manic mural]

Classic overproducing inf equipment

[torn fossil]

go to #building-and-recc-chat

[lyric onyx]

mb

[wind vector]

I'm using figher Is

Also I'm on elite difficulty so I'm behind on tech

Maybe next game I'll have a normal gerrmany game

I was researching fighter IIs when I closed the game

So when I get back to it I should be starting to have Fw190s on the production line

Should I do 1 heavy machine gun or 2?

also what's a challenging country on normal difficulty where I still get to do stuff

[manic mural]

you can always be ahead of the ai no matter the difficulty if you start on tech early, ai kinda researches everything, they don't focus down any single thing

[wind vector]

hmm

[manic mural]

most HMGs you can fit on with the best single engine you have

[wind vector]

hmm

So would heavy fighters make sense?

[manic mural]

also don't forget sealable tanks

wdym heavy fighters

[wind vector]

Or are they still meh

[manic mural]

large airframe fighters aren't good

motherships are okay

[wind vector]

Medium airframes?

[manic mural]

nah not worth

[wind vector]

agility too crap?

[manic mural]

too expensive ic wise

[wind vector]

Ah

[manic mural]

ic cost of a medium airframe is like almost 2x small airframe

[wind vector]

So the most I should do is put a turret on a bomber

So it's the same with cas too i just spam bomb locks?

[manic mural]

bomber shouldn't have anything other than like resealable tank

you shouldn't use a bomber somewhere you don't have air superiority in

[wind vector]

fair

[manic mural]

strat bomber could add the radar and whatever since that increases strat bombing

[wind vector]

I should probably put a couple factories on strat bombers tbh

I only have TACs

Navy I'm sorted

Focus tree gives me 2 BBs and a carrier

I'm probably gonna refit my BBs to add more AA on them

Mostly just air and land

The army is... Fine-ish

I got a huge medium tank deficit but even then this is more tank divisions than I have normally in 1940

Even with less factories

Something's probably wrong there

Did the new DLC make the production line more efficient for Germany or something

Or tanks cheaper

[manic mural]

depends on a lot of things

the left path after everything does have slightly better factory output

right path gets you more factories

[wind vector]

hmm

I did let Goring do his thing

maybe they buffed MEFO?

here we go

[manic mural]

Would use resealable tank instead of armor plate and the extra fuel tank instead of drop tank

More range = more effectiveness

Until you have range over the whole air zone that is

[manic mural]

Four year plan and economy of conquest or whatever? Yea it scales better early war now

Gets you more factories by war

Just that mefo takes away your ability to build anything for a while

Personally I'd do left side and prioritize economic growth to not have mefo kill the industry

[wind vector]

hmm

the brits are also not contesting my subs

which is strange

I might start strat bombing britain

[manic mural]

Split subs into smaller fleets and keep bombing the channel

You can reasonably get naval supremacy for sealion that way if you want

[wind vector]

my first carrier is almost done too

hmm

kinda tempted to engage

these are older BBs

ok that was a stupid idea

they reinforced it 💀

ok I might do a regular game with regular production now

I have yet to figure out the most efficient way to use this focus tree

[manic mural]

My current start is save pp, get Goebbels, and go war eco right after I take prioritize economic growth

[wind vector]

only goebbels?

goebbels the advisor or goebbels the inner circle

[manic mural]

Only reason to get Goebbels first is Goebbels gets you exactly enough war support to get war eco

Inner circle

[wind vector]

ah so you rush that then you do your typical focuses

[manic mural]

I mean do all economic

[wind vector]

do all economic before war?

that's probably better because I was having production issues with anschluss with stuff

[manic mural]

I mean for left side you really need to get rid of the debuffs from it first

[wind vector]

the economy wasn't scaling as fast as I'd hoped

probably elite difficulty thing

[wind vector]

for the right side the mefo debuffs get annoying around 40 right?

so you pretty much have to go to war

[manic mural]

If you do it correctly and get the reducing debuffs thing first yea around 41 you get 0 civs iirc

[wind vector]

I found that I could roughly cram in all the military focuses at 39

and I found out that the naval focuses aren't worth doing early because I don't have the dockyards anyways

unless there's a meta of rushing bismarcks + graf zeppelin

[manic mural]

Nah but getting the first one first for dockyards can be good

[wind vector]

hmm

[manic mural]

Tbh I always do the military focuses later after my eco is all good

[wind vector]

I always rush researching naval in 36

and I can't produce them anyways

so I probably should use that slot for something else

[manic mural]

Idk Germany naval is pretty low priority unless you're focusing plan z

[wind vector]

funny when you sink the entire british navy

[manic mural]

I'd just get 1936 light cruisers with light attack and torps and keep producing that and not care about it until war

[wind vector]

I should probably just spam heavy cruisers instead

[wind vector]

torp cruisers?

[manic mural]

Nah light attack light cruisers with 1 torp

[wind vector]

hmm

[manic mural]

You'll need torps anyways and torp module is a good bit cheaper than adding another light cruiser battery

So you end up with a reasonable amount of both

[wind vector]

hmm

is it more cost effective to produce more light cruisers than to have both light cruisers and torp cruisers

[manic mural]

I'd consider how you're not going to have enough dockyards to make 2 lines effectively for most of the time

[wind vector]

yeah

I'll need screens for them as well

and subs

is the bismarck focus worth going for?

free BBs

1939/40 focus?

with a 41 launch date

I'll probably just push the entire naval expansion back to 39/40 anyways

since the navy's not that useful until 40/41

might spend more on u-boats as well

I wonder how a uboat + luftwaffe combination would work out

u boat spam in the english channel and when the BBs show up I just have a storm of naval bombers

[manic mural]

Light cruisers themselves are kinda screens, you can have an effective fleet without extra dds but having cheap dds is good too for eating damage and keeping the more expensive light cruisers alive

[wind vector]

hmm

what about sub screening?

[manic mural]

Does it still give it to you half completed? If it does then yea

[wind vector]

should I have depth charges on my cheap subs

[wind vector]

not sure but I think so

[manic mural]

My cheap dd is a single depth charge, first engine, first armor, and the gun on the bottom

[wind vector]

early DD or latest dd hull

feels like it might be worth it to spend a bit more on the hull to get a bit more range

and hp

[manic mural]

Latest hull

Never upgrade armor on dds though

[wind vector]

yeah no

they kill the IC

[manic mural]

Unlike everything else, upgrading armor on dd doesn't give it more hp

[wind vector]

really?

so its not even an IC cost thing

it's just useless

I'm better off just strapping more AA on it

[manic mural]

Yea it's only the armor star

[wind vector]

or spamming more

probably will keep the AA on the BBs

[manic mural]

And your dd is going to die anyways no matter what armor it has when it gets hit by anything that hits dds

[wind vector]

oh lmao

so even more expensive DDs will die like the cheap ones

they just have more firepower

[manic mural]

It helps a bit for dd vs dd light gun combat but no one is doing that

Light cruiser battery is going to kill it

[wind vector]

yeah why have dd light gun when you can have a CL show up and blow everyone up

[manic mural]

Anything bigger than light cruiser battery is going to kill it

[wind vector]

I'm probably going to distribute my AA across BBs and CLs

spare slots on the BBS will be AA

and maybe one AA on the CLs?

[manic mural]

I like adding aa on the bottom of my dds when I'm fighting UK

[wind vector]

oh

[manic mural]

But otherwise don't need it

[wind vector]

ah the carriers

that's going to bring the overall fleet aa up

Is that good for non-carrier countries in general too?

where the UK just shows up with a deathstack of BBs and carriers

[manic mural]

I mean the death stack of carriers beyond 4 starts suffering pretty big over stacking debuffs so you don't need too much aa

[wind vector]

hmm

so the AA on DDs aren't really needed most of the time

it's more of a nice to have?

[manic mural]

Yea the dedicated aa bbs are enough in general

Having fleet aa is important if you think you'll get naval bombed in the sea zone not from carriers

[wind vector]

I'm thinking of just refitting the Scharnhosts and the Bismarcks with AA

[manic mural]

Refitting is way too expensive imo

[wind vector]

so is it more cost effective to have a BB with say

one gun and a crap load of AA

[manic mural]

1 heavy battery 3 aa yea

[wind vector]

that's probably not too expensive to make

[manic mural]

Although I just realized the bismarck is gonna be more expensive and get targeted first and doesn't have much aa

But yea

It's not expensive and it actually lets you follow naval treaty lol

[wind vector]

oh really?

I might refit the BBs anyways since the thing with germany is the navy doesn't come out too much in 39/40

so I could refit them with AA 3

Might refit the Scharnhorsts too?

but they probably don't have enough IC to justify a refit

also reminds me of how they crammed a crap load of AA guns on the Enterprise in the pacific theatre

[worthy jungle]

what OS should i use for a pc for emulation? Ive never used linux before so hopefully nothing that's hard to use/learn

[granite temple]

Bazzite (based on Fedora)

[worthy jungle]

specifically emulating wii/switch games, but hoping for general support. I don't mind dual booting

im currently wiping my 512gb 660p to move it to the emulation pc and then i have to set it up

[granite temple]

I would just say Fedora Linux but Bazzite is more built for gaming. You can get a fork of Steam OS working with that super easily

[worthy jungle]

ill look into both of them, thanks

[granite temple]

prioritize your research in Bazzite. Super nice OS for Linux gaming

I was using it for a second until I started using my Bazzite PC for other projects

[worthy jungle]

One more question

How much storage do you think makes sense for an emulation build?

[granite temple]

512GB minimum

[worthy jungle]

It's only got a 512gb ssd in it atm, I do have another 512gb nvme I could add in

[granite temple]

yeah that should be fine

And then maybe add more storage later if you need more

[worthy jungle]

I imagine games won't take up a ton of space

It looks like this atm, the case is huge and horrible but I'm waiting to buy a jonsbo c6
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KfVX2x

[worthy jungle]

Oh yeah Nintendo switch games are 5-10gb and wii games are no more than 3gb

[ivory sage]

Does bazzite work with a Nvidia gpu

I thought it wanted AMD :0

[worthy jungle]

i could just use the igpu

from what I know its still stronger than the switch

or i could sell it and grab a 400/500 series gpu

[ivory sage]

But yeah, if you're emulating games Emudeck exists.

[worthy jungle]

as an os or emulator?

[ivory sage]

Any os works with Emudeck (:

It makes a neat front end for ya and sets it all up

[worthy jungle]

does it emulate any console?

and cool ty

i think im going to throw my 512gb 660p in it as well, i don't really need the storage in my main build

[ivory sage]

Up to PS4 I think

[worthy jungle]

if it works with switch thats going to be what i go with for sure

if not then ill probably dual boot linux on the second ssd

[ivory sage]

None of the Xbox emulation is available on windows on it but they are on Linux. But yeah up to PS4 and the switch for Nintendo and Sony.

[worthy jungle]

perfect, i specifically want playstation and nintendo lmao

tyvm

[ivory sage]

Emudeck is what most people use for emulation on the steam deck. Helps a lot organizing things.

[worthy jungle]

makes it much easier for me, though i do still need to learn linux at some point for my soon to be job

[ivory sage]

Also, 5700 (non XT or XT)is a good go-to card for budget amd builds iirc. If you can manage to catch 1 for under 100$.

[worthy jungle]

i actually just got one for $90 for my friends build lol

and my partners build has a 5700xt

actually

considering it's going to be windows, not a bad idea to have a decent gpu. Can add my steam account so it's more than just emulation

it'd need a cpu upgrade too, so thats an issue for later

[languid brook]

LOL

Yeah I don’t mess with my vigor

One hit from these bosses is enough to one shot

[pale basin]

before the dlc, i did mage build and put most stats into mind and endurance between the 3 so my healthbar was like half of yours and used to rock both of the items that give stat boosts but lowers hp

or took more damage, forgor what they were

both soreseals

marikas and radagons

increased damage i took

[languid brook]

💀

After level 50, I dropped those

[pale basin]

i didnt

[languid brook]

Hey its okay, you were still learning, or being stubborn

And honestly for most of my play through I was at 40 vigor

[pale basin]

just more of "heh big numbers"

[languid brook]

Malenia forced me to increase it to 60

[pale basin]

i was still at 30-40 with her

took too long to beat her with my build

[languid brook]

Mage, what spells were you using exactly?

Because I heard there’s this one spell thats really good for cheesing her

[pale basin]

id switch spells depending on what i need but like 90% of the time id have rannis moon once i got that , adulas moonblade, and greatblade phalanx or carian phalanx and then glintstone icecrag

depending on where i was on the map then sometimes id throw a heal spell or one of the dragon spells

comet azur i got to abuse for like 2 bosses before it was patched

[languid brook]

Ahh yes

The great comet azur

[pale basin]

except my dumbass didnt think itd get patched so i abused it on the bosses that you fought at those circles around the map

[languid brook]

😂

[pale basin]

think only like 1 actual boss i used it against

for the dlc i switched talismans but stuck with the mage build until i beat relanna and i used her swords

[languid brook]

Those swords are pretty good

Might main them during my next play through

But for now, I need to beat this dang boar rider.

decent size China no Bengal shenanigans

This is a very balanced map tbh

Usually there's an indian blob and a south east asian blob

Either that or Bengal takes literally everything and expands into south china when ming blows up

No Muscovy too

So this is a pretty free Qing run

Free until the Europeans come around at least

Was going to go after the hordes but since Muscovy isn't a threat I'll just leave central asia alone for now

(just desert anyways)

Japan is probably my next long term target

Going to expand into south asia so I could scale up my economy to fund a massive navy

Jolof Empire goes crazy

ok

restarting with a more optimal strategy

carve a path through mali to timbuktu

Holy shi is that where the phrase "From here to Timbuktu" originates???

Consort Radahn 1st Phase: I got this
Consort Radahn 2nd Phase:

[wind vector]

help

I've been trying to get this achievements for months

I hate this game

tfw half of my runs are restarting to get burgundy to not rival me

[manic mural]

all I remember was that you're supposed to go north and do it with like scandinavian tiles or smth

[wind vector]

really?

no CB?

[manic mural]

I don't remember, there should be some guides on youtube somewhere

it was like either you can go north, take england and scandinavia, or you can go east in the caucasus or something after taking ceuta

[wind vector]

I was thinking of ireland

there's barely AE for those

damn this is a bad start

restarting for the 10th time

[languid brook]

Bro

What am I supposed to do Against Radahns Meteor attack?????

[pale basin]

pray

also

which one?

[languid brook]

Consort 2nd phase

[pale basin]

actual meteor or him being the meteor

oh him being a meteor?

[languid brook]

No

[pale basin]

oh

[languid brook]

The one followed by the after image attack

The heck am I supposed to do?

U get hit by 1 of those meteor you get stunned and then the after image attack is just gonna finish you off

[pale basin]

the one where he sends like 6 meteors and followed up immediately with like 5 after image slashes?

[languid brook]

Yes

[pale basin]

run back a bit to gain a bit of distance then go to the side, left or right and keep going or you can just try and dodge the slashes which is hard to do cause i think like the last slash has a slightly bigger hitbox than normal

[languid brook]

It definitely has a bigger hit box

Some of my damage drops off in the 2nd phase because of Holy negation

[languid brook]

https://medal.tv/games/elden-ring/clips/jxScRuhaxn9tdCCyy?invite=cr-MSxiVE0sODc0OTYwNCw

Best run on him so far 😭

[wind vector]

alright

after a 5 hour break

(I'm not getting it I've been at it for months)

[worthy jungle]

Hey whenever you're not busy I had a couple questions abt emulating again if you dont mind

Im wondering if I need Nintendo switch/wii controllers, or if I can get off brand . Its abt half the price new on amazon vs refurb on ebay

And off of that, are there controllers that are universal for consoles across emulation, or do i need controllers for each console

[glass temple]

I have offbrand AliExpress Wii controllers that I use with Dolphin on my PC

It works best if you get a Wii Bluetooth module and solder it to a USB, but there is also a list of BT adapters that work

The controllers (with nunchucks) were like $13/ea and the BT modules are <$2. I'd get multiple though cause they are kinda a pain to solder

[idle garnet]

for wii u emulation I just straight up use my xbox controller lol

[worthy jungle]

Lmao good to know

[idle garnet]

pretty much all emulators will take all inputs from any controllers... you only start running into issues if the game uses certain controller features like shaking a remote or like gyroscope things

like for BOTW theres one temple I had to cheese because I didnt have a gyroscope in my controller to move the giant board around to move the ball

[worthy jungle]

I've already got 3 ps4 controllers so that's perfect

Id imagine wii sports would need wii controllers though

[idle garnet]

yup 100%

some games you can get away without using that stuff though

like BOTW you can play in its entirety pretty much with an xbox controller

[wind vector]

It's been ages since I've used dolphin tbh

I think I used an official wiimote + usb wii sensor bar + usb bluetooth adapter

[worthy jungle]

Is dolphin windows compatible?

I was suggested emudeck by toppercent

[wind vector]

Should be

[glass temple]

yes

[wind vector]

note: on the wii sensor bar, you just need something that emits infrared light that the wiimote can point to

so say

two candles

[glass temple]

can also get those cheap on Ali

or candles yeah

[wind vector]

or that

candles are good for temporary

when your sensor bars haven't arrived

[glass temple]

orrrr

you use your phone's faceID thingy and a lighter in the other hand while using the controller with the other

[wind vector]

what the hell

[glass temple]

(I was playing Skylanders and there was one bit where I needed to aim with the wiimote but i didn't want to go downstairs and get the bar)

[wind vector]

lmao

I kinda wanna get my wii back now

just to play mario kart and wii sports

[worthy jungle]

Do you guys know if a controller like this works for all wii games?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FJ2LQ3Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?

[wind vector]

hmm

not sure

I've only ever used a wiimote

I don't imagine it'd work well with wiimote+nunchuck games

[worthy jungle]

That makes sense ty

[wind vector]

I'd say

[worthy jungle]

Might just get two sets of these
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BZDMK99T/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3UBRTER7BIXYJ&psc=1

[wind vector]

use a wiimote + nunchucks for most wii games

and use a regular controller for the rest

[worthy jungle]

Im gonna need at least 3 controllers for some games

[languid brook]

Radahn please, free me

[pale basin]

still on consort radahn?

[languid brook]

Yeah 🫠

[wind vector]

sigh

burgundian succession death war

I hate fighting france

this time burgundy has a 32k deathstack that keeps camping the forts too

[manic mural]

Death stack against them

Esp if they're sieging you down

[south haven]

You death stack once and then they spam attack that one stack and send single unit stacks to take your lands

Or at least that is what happened when I used to play EU4

[wind vector]

I'm pretty much just doing a war of attrition

waiting for them to sit on a fort and then deathstacking them

going to grind down their manpower then go in to siege them down

France is down to 19k reserves and Burgundy is at 1K

I'm actually not at that much of a disadvantage against france

they just have well

deathstacks

but once they can't reinforce properly I'll be able to siege them down easy

oh my god I caught a big stack

The french are distracted in Spain

Time to spam artilley barrage

Gonna try to speed siege down france to peace them out

After that the war is pretty much won

Big HRE too

[wind vector]

[wind vector]

Average Russian AI

[wind vector]

oh god

[wind vector]

Mamluks is unironically the #2 GP

They're actually really scary

I don't like the fact that they're just sitting on my border

Might have to start investing in an alliance network too

League wars might start firing soon

Definitely don't want England on the other side

I'll also have to blow up france again

That's like every EU4 game

Kill France before they kill you

[wind vector]

[wind vector]

👍

France is contained

Brandenburg has got to be the worst defender of faith

they never join call to arms

then again...

they probably just took one look at giga austria and went "nope"

[wind vector]

the great crusade

the mamluks are actually too strong

once they catch up in institutions they'll be annoying

[wind vector]

Austrian gaming

[wind vector]

France must be dismantled

[wind vector]

It's only 1860 so

gonna spam cruisers when I have that tech

I'm going to send the high seas fleet to do some trolling next time ai france declares on me

hmm

I might actually have a chance at outscaling the UK

[wind vector]

I'm going to match the UK navy now wtf

gonna go invade china now because I'm bored

[manic mural]

When in doubt, get another colony

[wind vector]

I'm just waiting for the UK to join a war against me so I can steal all their colonies

place in the sun is cheaper than demand concession in the early-mid game

wow that CB against china cost me 0 infamy

guess it's time for a second war

what the hell????

China has 0 brigades

[manic mural]

Economy broke probably

[wind vector]

unciv moment

oh they're also getting invaded by russia too

uh oh

wait

most of their army is in China

lmaooo

they peaced out and have to walk all the way back

oh my god we did it

[wind vector]

rip french navy

[wind vector]

going to war now before they unlock cruiser tech

[wind vector]

405k men just sitting in belfast while I'm sieging down scotland

no navy UK moment

I was expecting the AI to put up a better fight but no

[wind vector]

wtf?????

[wind vector]

endgame navy spam

[granite temple]

What game is this?

It's the only thing I’ve been seeing in #gaming

[wind vector]

Victoria II

[manic mural]

Vic 2 is an acquired taste

Very old, very cheap, very easy to run, very hard UI to work with

[wind vector]

noooo

It's that time of the game where your army starts rebelling against you

[manic mural]

There's a reason why I like to just not do those diplo techs lol

The ones that unlock socialism and stuff

Because if you don't take them, the rebels aren't as bad

[wind vector]

oh god

Meanwhile Russia's just been getting continuously overthrown by rebels and haven't participated in any major world events since the crimean war

[languid brook]

All I can say is

Thank God I didn't panic at the end

Cause I most definitely set myself up for failure with that attempt

Heading back to the main game and wrap this story up

God this boss is insane on Violent difficulty (Ultrakill)

I love me a good boomer shooter

Have you played Dusk?

It's like Quake 2

[worn sequoia]

I havent actually

[wind vector]

Great game

[worn sequoia]

Looking it up it kinda looks like if silent hill, blood borne and doom had a baby

Might have to try it

[wind vector]

It's published by the same studio that released ultrakill

[slim blade]

WHAT THE DOG DOING

[wind vector]

Is that Final Fantasy?

I really should finish FFXIV

[slim blade]

Yeah 7 rebirth

[nimble raven]

I mean understandable if you didn’t it’s long

ARR is what like 200hours and the expansions are 30-40 hours each

[wind vector]

honestly great value for money

you get so much game in one

unlike ubisoft open world titles

[slim blade]

is it microtransaction heavy?

[wind vector]

wdym?

FFXIV?

[slim blade]

yeah

its an mmo right

[wind vector]

it's a singleplayer game

there is FFXIV online or something

but it's a separate game

[slim blade]

ohhh this one

[wind vector]

no that's the new one

ok nvm I had XV lmao

only 20 hours?

damn

I've just been trolling around in the game and doing sidequests

does it have steam online saves

[slim blade]

https://tenor.com/view/really-bruh-blink-blank-face-gif-9334898104617218757

[wind vector]

need dem levels

RPG grind

I also like how it's called windows edition

and I exclusively ran it on linux

[slim blade]

Haven’t played an rpg with a lot of level grinding much ngl

[wind vector]

I do it to troll the bosses

it's good so you can get more items

[slim blade]

Elden ring kinda had grinding at the beginning but after a certain point it was skill and build based and once u got that right it was easy to beat tougher bosses and gain crapton of runes

[slim blade]

Yeah i’ll wishlist xv then i really want a grindy game ngl

[wind vector]

oh no it's not too grindy

I just like to grind

grinding is optional but you can max out your stats faster

[south haven]

I would make a joke

But it would break the rules. So I'm just going to leave the implication of the potential joke instead

[heavy parcel]

hi

[ripe nimbus]

well normally you can make things more rigid by having them be more dense, but that would make the thing more condensed in one single area so it will become smaller for the same density

[nimble raven]

blud you said 14

[nimble raven]

outside of of sub there is mtx, mostly cosmetic, nothing that gives you an advantage in gameplay

as for 16 its made by the 14 team as well

it has action combat more akin to dmc, which makes sense because they got the dmcV combat director on it

good game

Soken's music is crazy af though

[wind vector]

Memory issue

Been ages

Since I played

[pearl scroll]

[granite temple]

What game?

[manic mural]

Deep rock galactic

[pearl scroll]

One of my favorite games now

I always loved it but it started picking up more the past few months

[pearl scroll]

Its on sale rn

If you want it

$10

[granite temple]

bruh I might as well

[pearl scroll]

Its so funny man

[worn sequoia]

Rock and stone

[pearl scroll]

It aint a gun if it dont weigh at least a hundred pounds... 🗣️

I love how people do not tryhard deep rock even slightly

[pearl scroll]

WE FORGOT TO BRING A MULE! Well, that was stupid

[worn sequoia]

It's lovely

[pearl scroll]

I love the overlapping dialogue

All the dialogue spam

The game is always funny

[worn sequoia]

Oh for sure

[pearl scroll]

Bro had the mic echo

How did engineer mess up the audio setup man

[worn sequoia]

And then you got people complaining about the mule or talking about an after mission drink for the true submersion

[worn sequoia]

Holy echo

[granite temple]

What are you using to record these?

[pearl scroll]

You can see it literally caught me by surprise

[worn sequoia]

I just use obs

[pearl scroll]

I looked over like what the hell

[pearl scroll]

Instant replay using amd adrenalin

[granite temple]

oh gotcha

[pearl scroll]

So goated

[worn sequoia]

I should set up instant replay tbh

So many moments

[pearl scroll]

Yeah its better than obs because instant replay runs directly off the gpu

With obs it has to go between the cpu and gpu, it takes up more resources

[worn sequoia]

I see

[granite temple]

Nvidia has an equivalent. Perfect

[pearl scroll]

Yeah something geforce experience

[granite temple]

Records at the monitor's resolution. I have a 1440p monitor and recorded 14 seconds just to test. 120 MB for 14 seconds is nuts bruh

[worn sequoia]

💀

That's crazy

[granite temple]

I can change it to 1080p

Might do 720p actually

can even do 360p 💀

that 120MB was also given a 90 Mbps bitrate

[worn sequoia]

Did the math, thats 31 gigabytes an hour

Holy

[granite temple]

😭

I don't have that kind of storage wtf

[pearl scroll]

I have like 18 mbps for 1080p

[granite temple]

Imma do 20 (I like flat numbers)

[worn sequoia]

Obs gets WAY less storage for me

Like 2 hours can be like 25 gigs

1440p

[granite temple]

no thanks lmao

I'm also not recording professionally. It's too much for me to load up tbh

Nvidia and AMD's solutions are at least just a simple shortcut

[worn sequoia]

It works better for me for a dedicated video to use obs, adrenaline i imagine is better at just capturing quick unintentional clips

[granite temple]

yeah that's why I'd use it

Only I'm on Nvidia, so I'm using that instead

[worn sequoia]

Yup

[granite temple]

just called "Record" lol

[pearl scroll]

Nah adrenalin works pretty well tbh. Somehow its able to compress really well

[granite temple]

there's also this apparently

[worn sequoia]

My problem with obs is capturing hdr is hell

I just turn it off when recording most the time

[digital fractal]

I am looking to get back into YT and such. What settings do you recommend for recording with Outplayed and OBS?

Storage is not an issue. They have access to an entire terabyte for raw footage.

[wind vector]

Having a better nation < vassal swarm

[worn sequoia]

Posted this in general last night but putting it here as a resource, after waiting 20 minutes for SHADERS to compile, and doing the immediate benchmark based on default settings (ULTRA + no rt + quality fsr) at 1440p with no background processes, this is what i got and as it still looked worse than monster hunter rise

Not to mention rise ran on my xbox one s better than this game does on my 7900GRE which is insane.

Next i tested settings i personally would play at if i ever were to subject myself to this game

It still looked rather disappointing but was better than the fuzzy mess fsr was

Next i change fur quality from high->low and render from highest (renders everything)->high (set render) and i got this laughable jump in performance

And last but not least i tested everything on lowest possible settings excluding it still being at 1440p, and this is what i was returned, mind you it made gta 5 look like it was nondistinguishable from real life in comparison

Some of the most laughably miserable performance for a AAA game, do better

[worn sequoia]

Beans were quite literally polygons up close here mind you IN A CUTSCENE, the optimization is so depressing its insane

[knotty dawn]

Hardware accelerated software is becoming the new norm

When dlss, fsr and xess is now the norm instead of good optimization this is what happens

Why optimize when nvidia wants your GPU to do all of the rendering in real time

[worn sequoia]

I mean i think its a good thing to prospect towards

But NOT like this

I enjoy the idea of raytracing and algorith excelled hardware which will allow for more intricate and detailed games, however a lot of companies are using these tools like a crutch and not a damn beta test and the results are already apparent

[knotty dawn]

You shouldn't render everything in real time on your GPU

You don't need to reinvent the rendering pipeline wheel when it was working just fine before

[worn sequoia]

If it looks good and is cost effective it shouldnt be out of the norm if it works, i genuinely think its a good technology id like to see progression on, but the progression we have is miserable for consumers

I do believe it has a strong future

But

[knotty dawn]

It should be used in conjunction with good normal optimization

[worn sequoia]

Ofc

Especially now

[knotty dawn]

To boost visual quality, not to reach barely acceptable levels

But noo, nvidia wants you to believe that everything must be rendered in real time and make you buy the most expensive GPU

[worn sequoia]

We arent at a point where it even can

Yet nvidia wants us to think their high end solves that

It doesnt

Theyre giving us a solution to a problem we dont have

That theyre making a problem by giving the solution

[knotty dawn]

That's how they're leading the market

[worn sequoia]

Ofc
